Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the cheddar, cream cheese, pimento peppers, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and jalapeño (if using), and several twists of black pepper.
- Beat the mixture together with a hand mixer, your stand mixer, or by hand with a sturdy wooden spoon or spatula. Beat until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Taste, and add more black pepper if desired, and/or salt for more overall flavor (I usually add a pinch of two). If you'd like your pimento cheese to have more of a kick, add another pinch of cayenne. Blend again.
- Transfer the mixture to a smaller serving bowl. Serve your pimento cheese immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Pimento cheese hardens as it cools; let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to soften.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sharp Swiss cheese, creamy pimentos, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Shred the cheese yourself for a more even texture. Pre-shredded cheese can be coated with cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Don't overmix the cheese spread. Overmixing can make it tough and grainy.
- Chill the cheese spread for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread.
- Serve the cheese spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or dip.
