Description

Pimento cheese can best be described as southern comfort food. It makes a great spread on crackers, apples, or pears and is one heck of a grilled cheese sandwich! The taste of this recipe is also much better than that of the commercial product in the little bottle.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese, Grated
  • ½ cups (Real) Mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, Or To Taste
  • 1 jar (4 Oz. Size) Pimentos, Drained And Roughly Chopped
  • ¼ teaspoons Kosher Or Sea Salt (or To Taste)

Preparation

1. Place the cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and cayenne pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender and process until smooth.

2. Place the cheddar cheese/mayonnaise mixture in a bowl and stir in the chopped pimentos until they are evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

3. Transfer to a serving dish to serve immediately or store in a storage container to use later. Makes a great grilled cheese sandwich!

I’ve never thought of using a spread like this for grilled cheese, but what an excellent idea!
