| Southern Pimento Cheese |
Actually I suppose all pimento cheese is Southern. Here's a simple recipe of pimento cheese that is good for serving on crackers, topping a homemade pizza, or for making a grilled pimento cheese sandwich. I'm going to a "livermush party" next week, and I'll take some pimento cheese that will be good to add to a livermush sandwich.
Here's the recipe for Southern Pimento Cheese:
Southern Pimento Cheese
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup Duke’s mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento, drained or 4 ounces grilled
sweet pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
Place the Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayo, cayenne
pepper, and pimento in the large bowl of a mixer. Beat at medium speed with paddle until
thoroughly combined. Season to taste
with salt and black pepper.
 |
| Use a good extra sharp Cheddar. |
 |
| Duke's mayo is a must for this. |
 |
| I used half of this jar of grilled peppers. |
 |
| Mix all ingredients together in large bowl of mixer until blended. |
|
| Ready to enjoy. |
If you've only tried the commercial pimento cheese, I suggest making your own. It's less expensive and it is ever so much better.
