Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 3 hatch chiles
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounce jar pimentos (drained)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • Place hatch chiles on a baking sheet six inches from the broiler. Broil for 5 - 6 minutes on each side or until they start to blacken. Remove from oven, place in a paper bag and allow to sweat for 15 minutes. Remove skins, stems and seeds. (If you want the cheese a little spicier leave the seeds in) Dice. See notes.
  • Combine cream cheese and mayonnaise together in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you can use a hand mixer) and mix until smooth. A few little chunks of cream cheese is ok.
  • Fold in pepper jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, pimentos, garlic, black pepper and diced hatch chiles. Season to taste with salt.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
