Pimento Cheese
Homemade pimento cheese is easy and much more flavorful than prepared. The first bite of a pimento cheese sandwich on white or rye bread will change your life.
Ingredients
- 16 oz block of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded I don’t use pre shredded cheese because it’s dry and will soak up all the mayo
- 4 oz jar of pimentos, with juice
- 1 cup mayonnaise I always use Duke's, but if it's not available use Hellman's
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Grate the cheese with a box grater or food processor with large shreds.
- Add to a large bowl.
- Combine all other ingredients and stir well. Don’t worry if it seems a little juicy. The cheese will soak up the extra liquid over time. You can always add more mayo later.
- Put in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour.
