Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, gently combine the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, and toasted pecans. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Add the thinly sliced green onions (reserving 1 tablespoon for garnish) to the cheese mixture. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Incorporate the mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning into the cheese mixture. Mix until well combined, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed. (3 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto a serving dish or pie plate. (2 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Carefully spread the red pepper jelly over the top of the cheese mixture, creating a smooth and even layer. (3 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Sprinkle the reserved green onions over the red pepper jelly for garnish. (1 minute)

07

Step
30 mins

Serve immediately with your favorite crackers or crudités. For optimal flavor, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

For a smoother texture, use whipped cream cheese in place of half of the mayonnaise.
Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste.
If you don't have red pepper jelly, try using a sweet chili sauce for a similar flavor profile.
For a festive presentation, serve the Cajun Caviar in a hollowed-out bell pepper.
