Pimento Cheese

Southern Pimento Cheese: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

Over the years I have seen recipes for pimento cheese spread and recipes involving the pimento cheese spread. It wasn't until recently that I decided I needed to see what this cheese spread was all about. After looking through some recipes I decided it was time to try one.

This pimento cheese spread can be served with crackers, pretzels or even in a sandwich.

Pimento Cheese

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup pimentos, drained
  • 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise, optional

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl beat together the cream cheese and the cheddar cheese. Stir in the pimentos. If you want the pimento cheese spread a little bit thinner add the mayonnaise.
Enjoy!!!
