Tips for Making Green Chile Pimiento Cheese

For a spicier pimento cheese, use a hotter variety of green chiles, such as serrano or jalapeño. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
If you don't have any green chiles on hand, you can use a small can of diced green chiles, drained.
To make the pimento cheese ahead of time, simply refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before spreading it on your crackers or veggies.
Green chile pimento cheese can be used as a dip, a spread, or a filling for sandwiches and wraps. It's also a great addition to grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas.
