Pimento Cheese Spread With Smoked Paprika

1. 1

   Grate cheese into a medium sized bowl.

2. 2

   Toast pecans, then rough chop in a food processor.

3. 3

   Add drained pimentos, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cream cheese to the pecans in the food processor bowl. Process until as smooth as you'd like!

4. 4

   Add pimento pecan mixture to the grated cheese; add mayonnaise and stir until well combined.

5. 5

   Serve immediately, or chill for a better blend of flavors. Serve on crackers, celery sticks, or make into sandwiches!

6. 6

   NOTE: I prefer the stiffer pimento cheese spread (as written) for toasted/grilled sandwiches! For a softer consistency, add 1-2 ounces more cream cheese, or increase the mayonnaise by 1-2 tablespoons.
