MOM'S PIMENTO CHEESE

Posted in response to a request, this has to be the best pimento cheese ever, imho. My kids loved it growing up and if, when they visit, there is some in the frig... it's not there long. Great on a sandwich or crackers... or to stuff celery or use as a veggie dip. It never lasts long around here. (Amount is a guess-timate b/c I've never measured how much this recipe makes.)

Categories Cheese Appetizer No-Cook Hot Pepper Gourmet Sugar Conscious Kidney Friendly Vegetarian Pescatarian Wheat/Gluten-Free Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free Kosher

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/2 lb extra-sharp Vermont white Cheddar
1/2 lb extra-sharp aged New York (orange) Cheddar
1 (7-oz) jar pimentos, drained and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
cayenne to taste
2/3 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

Finely grate cheeses into a large bowl. Stir in pimentos, black pepper, cayenne, and salt to taste with a fork. Then stir in mayonnaise, mashing mixture with fork until relatively smooth. (It should be flecked with small pieces of pimento.)
Scrape spread into a crock or jar and chill, covered, at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.
Serve pimento cheese with crackers or use as a filling for finger sandwiches.

Tips:

Choose the right cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese is essential for a flavorful pimento cheese. You can also use a combination of sharp cheddar and cream cheese for a creamier spread.
Use fresh, finely diced pimentos: Canned pimentos can be used, but fresh pimentos will give your pimento cheese a brighter flavor and color.
Add some heat: A pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce can add a nice kick to your pimento cheese. If you're looking for a milder flavor, you can omit the heat altogether.
Don't overmix: Overmixing can make your pimento cheese grainy. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Let the pimento cheese chill: Chilling the pimento cheese for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Pimento cheese is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're spreading it on a sandwich, using it as a dip for vegetables, or eating it straight out of the bowl, pimento cheese is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give pimento cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
