Baked Jalapeno Pimento Cheese

I’m guessing if you have been following along with B. Perdy, you have noticed our thing  for pimento cheese. It is kind of ridiculous in an amazing cheesy kind of way. Another one of our B. Perdy fave’s, Erin Underwood shared this incredible dish at a neighborhood party and it was a hit! When you pull this baked jalapeno pimento cheese out of the oven, and it is hot and gooey, oh my gosh! I’m literally speechless and now hungry. To feed a crowd, I would double, triple or quadruple it. Super easy to do and allows it to go a little further. Don’t be surprised if there isn’t any left. You can also adjust the heatness with the jalapenos. Chop up more jalapenos and pour a bit more jalapeno juice to crank it up for those with a spicer palate. It is so good! Happy eating!
