LOW FAT PIMENTO CHEESE SPREAD

Low Fat Pimento Cheese Spread image

Being from So California originally I had never heard of pimento cheese. Once I tasted it I was hooked. But....way too many calories for me to have it as anything more than occasional treat. So, I went to work trying to make it as low fat as I could and still have that great flavor. I just made this and it's resting comfortably in the fridge. Might have to "tweak" it a bit, but here goes! Cooking time is chilling time.

ANDREA'S LOW-FAT PIMENTO CHEESE

Andrea's Low-Fat Pimento Cheese image

This is something I made while just playing around since I didn't have cream cheese. The yogurt makes it really have a nice sharp taste. Serve on Ritz® crackers, as sandwich filling, or in a veggie wrap.
