  • 1/3 cup chopped bread and butter pickles

Instructions
 

  • Place medium cheddar, cream havarti, sharp cheddar and cottage cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir with fork and mash down on the cottage cheese to blend it with the other cheeses.
  • Add pepperoncini, mayonnaise, pimientos, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, pickle juice and pickles.

My favorite crackers to serve with my pimiento cheese: Stacy’s Romano with Garlic and Pepper (find them in the deli section of most grocery stores).
