  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, garlic powder, and salt until fully integrated.
  3. Gently fold in the drained pimentos and the freshly grated sharp cheddar using a spatula to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Optional: drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the center is molten and slightly golden.
