SPICY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

Slice and serve.
• Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, adobo sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, cayenne or hot sauce and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until combined. Add almost all of the Cheddar and Gouda, reserving about 2 tablespoons of each in a bowl, and pulse until well combined again. Add the contents of the blender to the reserved cheese and stir to combine. Fold in the pimentos, jalapenos and dill, then chill before serving.
