easy appetizer pimiento dip

🧂 Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream
1 package cream cheese

softened
2 tbsp lemon juice

fresh is better if possible, otherwise bottled lemon juice works
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 jar pimientos

drained and cut in small pieces
6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Traditionally, orange cheddar, not white, is used for pimiento dip, but it's your choice!
6 oz colby jack or Pepper jack cheese, shredded

1 Preheat oven to 425° F. and lightly coat an 8-inch baking dish

2 Stir the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper together in a
large bowl.
3 Gently fold in the pimientos, Cheddar cheese and Jack cheese.
4 Once combined, transfer the cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
5 Bake until bubbling and the top is a light golden brown, approximately 15
minutes.
6 Serve with your choice of crackers, chips or vegetables and enjoy! (Note - Great
the next day too if there happens to be any leftover. It's tasty cold and some
people prefer it that way, but you can always heat it up in the microwave if you
like it that way better.)
