Ingredients
  • 6 ounces extra sharp cheddar, finely grated (micro-plane is best) by hand

  • 1/3 cups of mayonnaise
  • 3 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Hot sauce or pinch of cayenne to taste
Directions

Place all the ingredients in food processor and pulse until mixture is relatively smooth and flecked with small pieces of red pepper. Chill at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
