Hot Pimento Cheese Dip with a Goldfish Cracker Crust
This recipe was born out of having Goldfish crackers and no desire to eat them straight up, but they are fantastic when crushed up and baked as a crust over a hot pimento cheese dip. When your cheese cravings need a little crunch, this is the way to go.
Equipment

- ½ cup Goldfish crackers, finely crushed (or other cheese crackers or panko bread crumbs)
Instructions

- Mix the cheeses, mayo, pimentos, and seasonings in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Spray your baking dish(es) with the cooking spray.
