Hot Pepper Cheese Dip

Appetizers

Old English cheese comes in a jar and is in the refrigerator section alongside all of the other cheese. It’s fake cheese, but it works great in this application. This is a great application for leftover pimento cheese.

Ingredients

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded

1 jar Old English Cheese

1 /2 cup homemade pimento cheese

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 Tbsp canned jalapeños, minced fine

1 tsp garlic, minced

1 /2 tsp ground black pepper

1 /2 tsp Creole seasoning

1 /2 cup toasted pecans, chopped fine

1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Place the four cheeses into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend until well incorporated.

Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate overnight.

This pairs perfectly with Sweet Potato Pancakes. It may be better than the pancakes themselves (and they’re great). But try this recipe on regular pancakes, waffles, and French toast.

Sweet Potato Pancakes

I ate my first sweet potato pancake during my only visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. My family, along with another couple and their young children rented a cabin in the mountains during spring break. I woke every morning and headed into town for breakfast. I would imagine Gatlinburg has more pancake houses per capita than any place on the planet. My problem is that I never found a good-tasting pancake until I happened across sweet potato pancakes at one of the pancake houses. We serve a version of this recipe at The Midtowner. The Cinnamon Cream Syrup is a must.
