DIED & WENT TO PIMENTO CHEESE HEAVEN (PIMIENTO)



Died & Went to Pimento Cheese Heaven (Pimiento) image

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!

PIMENTO CHEESE TO DIE FOR



Pimento Cheese to Die For image

I am 19 weeks pregnant and all I want to eat are sour foods (pickles, tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, grapefruit, Zaxby's sauce, etc.) Well, last night I made a sandwich on toasted whole grain bread with this pimento cheese, sliced tomato, and dill pickles, and it was the BEST THING I've ever put into my mouth! Like my friend Brandi said, "Like manna from heaven"! This recipe is great for those of you who don't like too much mayonnaise in your pimento cheese. Makes 26 4-oz servings. Each serving: 185 cals.
