A true Southern delicacy! I didn't know I even liked Pimento Cheese! This stuff is addictive... so addictive I am having a lock installed on my refrigerator (not to keep me out - but in case the neighbors find out!). I have picked at Pimento Cheese spreads at parties and potlucks but never have the desire to make my own... and then I was asked if I would make a batch for a friend...This is a cross between her mom's recipe and my creativity. Great on Celery Sticks, Crackers, Bread... even straight out of the bowl! Even picky four year olds liked it! Ingredients:
6 ounces cream cheese |
1/2 cup vermont extra sharp white cheddar cheese, grated |
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar |
4 ounces pimientos, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1 dash hot sauce (or more!) |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Using a hand held mixer, beat cream cheese until soft.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until creamy and combined.
3. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour.
