1
Heat a medium-size skillet over medium heat.

While the skillet is heating, cut the jalapeno in half lengthwise. To keep things tame, remove the membranes and seeds, using a spoon to scrape them out. If you’d like the dip to be extra spicy, leave the seeds and membranes intact.
3
Dice the peppers and onion.
4
Add the butter to the skillet and let melt.
5
Stir in the peppers and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese. Stir until it starts to soften and melt.
6
Stir in the pepper jack cheese and continue stirring over low heat until it’s mostly melted.
7
Add the milk and stir until smooth and creamy.
8
While the cheese is melting, heat the spinach in the microwave according to package directions. Drain well.
9
Stir the spinach, pimentos, and salt into the melted cheese.
10
Serve with sliced bread, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables.
