Sip + Sanity | Linda Feller
Goat + Gouda Pimento Cheese Spread takes the classic southern recipe for a little spin around the block by swapping in two of my absolute favorite cheeses. I think you’ll love it, too!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounce mild gouda cheese*, shredded on a box grater
  • 4 ounce goat cheese, softened
  • 6 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 4 ounce diced pimento peppers, from jar, well drained
  • ½ teaspoon Calabrian chili paste, or more, to taste
  • 2 tablespoon chives, minced, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar, or dry sherry or Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • kosher salt + fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients (except for salt + pepper) using a wooden spoon or an electric hand mixer.
  • Taste and season with salt + pepper, if needed. Add a little more Calabrian chili paste if you want more heat!
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. If making ahead + refrigerating, allow to sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Store leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for a week.
  2. Serve as a dip with crackers, pretzels, or crudite or on burgers and other sandwiches, including grilled cheese.
  3. *I use a 3-month aged gouda that still has a tangy finish, but with a softer/creamier texture than longer aged goudas.
