From Cooking Light magazine. I used light cream cheese, but full fat everything else. Although the recipe stated that the pimientos should be undrained, I drained mine for a thicker consistency. I think the smoked paprika adds wonderful flavor to this.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons block-style fat free cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon finely grated onion
1/8 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground red pepper
1 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon chopped pecans, toasted
0.5 (2 ounce) jar diced pimento, undrained
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
14 slices party-style pumpernickel bread
Directions:
1. Place cream cheese in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Stir in mayonnaise, onion, Worcestershire, salt, paprika and pepper.
2. Add cheddar cheese, pecans, and pimiento; stir well.
3. Cover and chill up to 3 hours.
4. Serve with bread.
