For a smoother texture, consider using a food processor to combine the ingredients. Pulse until just combined. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat level. For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes completely or substitute with a milder pepper. This pimento cheese can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring to room temperature slightly before serving for optimal flavor and spreadability.
