Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Finely chopped pimentos (or roasted red peppers)
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 drops Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Start by grating the cheddar cheese into a large mixing bowl using a box grater. The smaller the shred, the smoother the cheese paste will be.
Add the cream cheese to the bowl. Ensure it is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and finely chopped pimentos (or roasted red peppers) to the bowl.
Mix in the scallions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined. For an extra kick, add a few drops of hot sauce (optional).
Using a fork or hand mixer, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps of cream cheese.
Taste the cheese paste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may add a pinch more salt or a splash more hot sauce, depending on your preference.
Transfer the cheese paste to a smaller serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use this low-carb Trini-inspired cheese paste as a spread for keto-friendly sandwich bread, low-carb crackers, or vegetable sticks like celery and cucumber.
