Miss Mattie's Southern Pimiento Cheese gets its sweet and spicy taste from sweet-hot pickled jalapeno peppers. The toasted pecans add to its Southern flair. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1 (7-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained |
1/2 cup chopped jarred sweet-hot pickled jalapeno pepper slices |
1 tablespoon liquid from sweet-hot pickled jalapeno pepper slices |
4 cups freshly grated mild cheddar cheese (1 lb.) |
garnishes: sweet-hot pickled jalapeno pepper slices, toasted chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Bake 1/2 cup chopped pecans at 350° in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. Cool 20 minutes. Stir together mayonnaise, diced pimiento, pickled jalapeño pepper slices, liquid from sweet-hot pickled jalapeño pepper slices, and toasted pecans. Stir in Cheddar cheese until well blended. Garnish, if desired.
