Pimento Cheese
4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
4 ounces diced pimento
2 ounces mayonnaise (Duke’s is my favorite!)
8 ounces sharp white Cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Place cream cheese and mayonnaise into a large mixing bowl and beat at medium
speed until thoroughly combined. Add cheddar cheese. Mix till combined, then
add pimentos (add them last so they don’t get too beat up). Season
to taste with salt and pepper.
Have a certain type of cheese you love? Feel free to substitute another type of
cheese in for additional flavor. For example, substitute 2 ounces of blue
cheese in for 2 ounces of the sharp white Cheddar cheese.
Feel like adding a little kick to your pimento cheese? Substitute another
pepper or flavor in for the 2 ounces of pimentos. For example, I’ve tried Asian
chili garlic sauce, kimchi, banana peppers, ghost
peppers and horseradish sauce.
