Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Finely chopped pimentos (or roasted red peppers)
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 drops Hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by grating the cheddar cheese into a large mixing bowl using a box grater. The smaller the shred, the smoother the cheese paste will be.
Step 2
Add the cream cheese to the bowl. Ensure it is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and finely chopped pimentos (or roasted red peppers) to the bowl.
Step 4
Mix in the scallions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined. For an extra kick, add a few drops of hot sauce (optional).
Step 5
Using a fork or hand mixer, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps of cream cheese.
Step 6
Taste the cheese paste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may add a pinch more salt or a splash more hot sauce, depending on your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the cheese paste to a smaller serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Use this low-carb Trini-inspired cheese paste as a spread for keto-friendly sandwich bread, low-carb crackers, or vegetable sticks like celery and cucumber.
