Looking for a super yummy cheese dip for entertaining? My husband’s favorite appetizer Spicy Pimento Cheese Dip! Want more recipes like this one. See my appetizers page.
Have you all ever tried Spicy Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Dip? Well if you haven’t then you are in for something great!
My husband fell in love with this dip at one of our favorite restaurants. It seemed so simple to recreate at home.
When we first started making it we used the premade jalapeno pimento cheese spread brand called Pawley Island and just added a dash of cayenne pepper.
Since we have moved to the west coast we can not find the Pawley Island brand in any of the stores. So we went on a quest to make the perfect recipe for this dip!
Spicy Pimento Cheese Dip
We finally perfected the jalapeno pimento cheese recipe and our dip is even better than before. Why do you ask? Well, because we are using fresh ingredients and it’s made from scratch.

This is such a good idea, I bet this tastes amazing. I need to try make this for my husband because he has never had pimento cheese and this is probably a way that he would love it!
Kim
You should get him to try it! This is hands down my husbands fav appetizer! The hotter the better for him. :)

This sounds so yummy! Although I probably wouldn’t add the cayenne pepper because I’m a wimp when it comes to spicy food. ;) But this would make a great and easy dip to bring to a get together!
Kim
Ha, I’m a whimp too but if you only put a little it doesn’t pack much heat, but ads a great flavor. Thanks for stopping by!
