  1. Grate cheese with a fine grater such as a Microplane. Add cheese to the bowl of a food processor along with the butter, 2 tablespoons of the pimientos, and the remaining ingredients. Process until relatively smooth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of pimientos and pulse until finely chopped and incorporated into the mixture.
  2. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate util 30 minutes before serving with corn so that it has softened slightly for spreading.
