PIMENTO CHEESE

Pimento Cheese image

This pimento cheese is the best! It's cheesy, tangy, peppery (spicy if you wish), and spreadable. Recipe yields 2 cups.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups freshly grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1″ cubes and softened at room temperature*
4 ounces pimento peppers**, well drained and chopped if in strips
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Duke's is traditional but I also like Sir Kensington's)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (decrease or omit if sensitive to spice)
1/2 medium jalapeño pepper, ribs and seeds removed, and minced (about 1 tablespoon; omit if sensitive to spice)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the cheddar, cream cheese, pimento peppers, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and jalapeño (if using), and several twists of black pepper.
Beat the mixture together with a hand mixer, your stand mixer, or by hand with a sturdy wooden spoon or spatula. Beat until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Taste, and add more black pepper if desired, and/or salt for more overall flavor (I usually add a pinch of two). If you'd like your pimento cheese to have more of a kick, add another pinch of cayenne. Blend again.
Transfer the mixture to a smaller serving bowl. Serve your pimento cheese immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Pimento cheese hardens as it cools; let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to soften.

AUNT ERMA LEE'S SMOOTH AND CREAMY PIMENTO CHEESE

Aunt Erma Lee's Smooth and Creamy Pimento Cheese image

This is a creamy spread that is cooked. My Aunt Erma Lee was a great cook. Feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste. This is a great spread for sandwiches with soup. Try spreading it on buns with hamburgers or sloppy joes for a new twist! Soars above store-bought! Can be kept under refrigeration for up to one week.

This is better than anything you can buy at the grocery! Great to serve with a hot bowl of soup in the winter. Or, stuff it inside of celery sticks for a great snack around the pool.

THE LEE BROTHERS' PIMENTO CHEESE

The Lee Brothers' Pimento Cheese image

A decidedly Southern spread with Northern roots, pimento cheese is a simple mix of Cheddar, red bell pepper and mayonnaise that can be found on sandwiches from work sites to garden parties across the 16 states below the Mason-Dixon line. This recipe came to The Times from the Charleston, S.C.-bred cookbook authors and occasional contributors to The Times Matt Lee and Ted Lee.
