Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups finely shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise, divided
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp grated shallots or 1 tbsp yellow onion
1 (4 oz) jar diced pimentos, drained (liquid reserved )
ground cayenne pepper
dry english-style mustard

Directions:

Combine half the Cheddar and half the Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Mix together lightly. Knead in 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise until mixture is creamy and very smooth.
Work in remaining cheese, garlic, shallot, pimientos, 1 tablespoon of reserved pimiento liquid, a dash of cayenne and a small pinch of dry mustard. Knead just enough to mix well: it should still have plenty of texture. Add remaining mayonnaise, if necessary—just enough to make it spreadable.
Let stand 30 minutes. Serve cool or at room temperature.
