8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 jar (4 oz) pimentos, drained and chopped
2 tbsp mayonnaise Shop
1 tsp gluten-free Worcestershire sauce Shop
0.5 tsp Dijon mustard Shop
0.25 tsp cayenne pepper Shop
0.25 tsp salt
0.125 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Use a spatula or a hand mixer to blend them together until mostly smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Ensure there are no large lumps of cream cheese remaining.
2 Add the drained and chopped pimentos, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is uniformly colored.
3 Transfer the pimento cheese mixture to a small oven-safe dish or ramekin. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon to create an even surface.
4 Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the edges are slightly bubbly and golden brown. The aroma should be rich and savory.
5 Carefully remove the hot pimento cheese dip from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dip is best served warm with your favorite gluten-free crackers, vegetable sticks, or toasted gluten-free bread.
