A bold twist on a Southern classic, thisĀ St. Elmo Spicy Pimento CheeseĀ brings the signature heat ofĀ St. Elmo Prepared HorseradishĀ to a creamy, cheesy spread. Sharp cheddar, sweet pimentos, and a hint of spice come together for the perfect balance.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated

  • 2 cups white cheddar cheese, freshly grated

  • Ā½ cup mayonnaise

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softenedĀ 

  • 4 oz diced pimentos, drained

  • 2 tablespoons St. Elmo Prepared Horseradish, or more to taste

  • Ā¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • Ā¼ teaspoon onion powder

Directions

  1. Grate the Cheese: For the best texture and flavor, grate sharp cheddar and white cheddar from block cheese rather than using pre-shredded cheese.

  2. Mix the Base

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheeses, mayonnaise, cream cheese, St. Elmo Prepared Horseradish, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended.

  4. Fold & Chill: Gently fold in the drained pimentos. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
