Start by blending the cottage cheese with a blender, food processor, or immersion blender until smooth.

In a large bowl, add the shredded cheeses, cottage cheese, and mayonnaise and mix with a spatula until thoroughly combined.

Measure in the pimentos, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne, if using. Stir until mixed well.

Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Can garnish with chives or additional fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, or a small sprig of rosemary before serving.

Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. Is unlikely to freeze well because of the mayonnaise.
