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.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Dip or spread

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

OUR FAVORITE PIMENTO CHEESE



Our Favorite Pimento Cheese image

One of the first dishes Southern cooks master is homemade pimento cheese. Every hostess may have her own special twist on the classic party dish, but this version will never let you down. Our best pimento cheese recipe gets a signature crunch from toasted pecans and a dash of heat from ground red pepper. Blended together with creamy mayonnaise and sharp Cheddar cheese, it's a combination that keeps guests coming back for seconds. Pimiento cheese dip may be an easy appetizer for entertaining, but there's just one way to mess up the recipe: pre-shredded cheese. In a dish this simple, texture is important. The time you take to pull out your box grater and shred by hand will pay off in taste. Can't wait for your next gathering to whip up a batch of Southern pimento cheese? Brighten up lunchtime with a hearty pimento cheese sandwich- we'll take ours with garden-fresh tomato slices on the side!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's or Duke's
1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated onion
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (8-oz.) block extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (8-oz.) block sharp Cheddar cheese
Celery sticks and assorted crackers

Steps:

  • Make the mayo mixture. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, diced pimiento, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, and ground red pepper until blended.
  • Toast the pecans. Toasting brings out the rich flavor of the nuts. Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. (Stirring helps to ensure even browning.)
  • Shred the cheese. Trust us - texture matters. Using the small side of a box grater, finely shred extra-sharp Cheddar cheese. Then use the large side of the grater to coarsely shred sharp Cheddar cheese. Fresh cheese makes a difference.
  • Stir and enjoy. Add pecans and shredded cheeses to mayo mixture, stirring until blended. You can store it in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Serve with celery sticks and assorted crackers, or make a grilled pimento cheese sandwich in a skillet or panini press.

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounce(s) sharp cheddar (block), grated
8 ounce(s) extra sharp cheddar (block), grated
8 ounce(s) bag pre-shredded triple cheddar
8 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened
8 ounce(s) jar diced pimentos, drained
3/4 teaspoon(s) granulated garlic
3/4 teaspoon(s) granulated onion
1/2 teaspoon(s) coarse ground pepper
1-2 teaspoon(s) sugar (or sugar substitute)
About 2 cup(s) mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Soften cream cheese in the microwave. It should almost be liquidated.
  • Put everything except mayonnaise into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add mayonnaise and fold together until it reaches the consistency you like. Taste for seasoning, adjust as needed.
  • Notes: I didn't include salt in the ingredients. I tasted it and it didn't need any, but you can add salt to taste. You can use half mayonnaise and half sour cream or Greek yogurt in place of all mayonnaise. This adds tang. If you like things a bit spicy, add some ground cayenne powder or 1-2 minced jalapeño peppers (seeds optional). Be prepared to add more mayonnaise every 2-3 days as it will absorb into the cheese and seem dry.
