September 24, 2018 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Yields12 Servings
 8 slices bacon
 6 oz ounces extra-sharp yellow cheddar cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
 6 oz cream cheese
 ¼ cup mayonnaise
 1 small shallot, minced
 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
 2 garlic cloves, minced
 ½ tsp pepper
 ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
 ½ cup jarred chopped pimentos, patted dry
1

Cook bacon in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until crispy, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to paper towel–lined plate to cool. Once cool, chop bacon fine.

2

Process cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, shallot, Worcestershire, garlic, pepper, and cayenne in food processor until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, about 1 minute. Add pimentos and pulse until combined, about 3 pulses.

3

Lay 18 by 11-inch sheet of plastic wrap on counter with long side parallel to counter edge. Transfer cheese mixture to center of plastic and shape into approximate 9-inch log with long side parallel to counter edge. Fold plastic over log and roll up. Pinch plastic at ends of log and roll log on counter to form tight cylinder. Tuck ends of plastic underneath. Freeze until completely firm, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
