Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Drain and pat the peppers dry before weighing about 3 ½ oz (100 g), then finely chop. Grate the cold cheddar on the coarse holes of a box grater.
- Stir mayonnaise, lemon juice and cayenne in a bowl. Fold in all cheese and chopped peppers with a spatula until evenly coated, keeping recognizable cheese shreds.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the mixture firms slightly. Stir once and divide into eight equal portions. Bread, crackers or vegetables served alongside are separate.
- Keep at 40 F / 4 C or colder and use within 3-4 days. Return to refrigeration within 2 hours of serving, or 1 hour above 90 F / 32 C.
