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 Pimento Cheese Dip? Well if you haven’t then you are in for something great! I have even made it easy for you.
Just buy some quality Gourmet Pimento Cheese Spread {or make your own}, add some cayenne pepper, pop it in the microwave and you’ve got one severely addicting cheese dip.
We love Pawley Island Pimento cheese with jalapeno spread for our dip! It has that special something that we just can’t duplicate by making it ourselves. We love it so much we have had it delivered to us for the east coast.
The first time I tried this delicious dip was at a fancy restaurant years ago, now you can find it served just about anywhere.
After tasting it I knew it would be super easy to recreate. So here’s our recipe to make a dip that will surely get then coming back for more!

That looks ridiculously good! I love cheesy dips and I’m addicted to chips. This is pretty much the perfect food for me! – Jerusha,
Wow, this look yummy and so easy. My husband would be mad for this. Thanks for sharing. Visiting from Merry Monday.
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!
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!
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!
