Pimento Cheese | Jennifer Cooks

Pimento Cheese is a savory Southern sandwich spread that’s quick and easy to make! Pimento Cheese is a simple combination of cheddar and American cheeses with pimiento peppers and other seasonings. It’s one of those foods that conjure up church fellowships and sandwich suppers from when I was little. Pimento cheese sandwiches were the first thing I’d grab for, and still do today if they’re being served!

This quick and easy recipe is a combination of the way my grandmother and my husbands grandmother made theirs. I love it! Use pimento cheese as a delicious sandwich spread or slathered on crackers, or a dip for fresh cut vegetables. Some folks even use it to make grilled cheese sandwiches or as an additional topping to burgers.

 
This simple recipe combines all ingredients in one bowl and you’re done! I think the flavor is better if you cover and place it in  the refrigerator for several hours or overnight before using. But most of the time I just can’t wait! Keep unused portions chilled in an airtight container in the refrigerator.  This will keep for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
