SOUTHERN PIMIENTO CHEESE RECIPE

Southern Pimiento Cheese Recipe image

There's one remarkable spread that holds a treasured spot at every Southern table; the legendary pimiento cheese spread. It's a beloved, tried-and-true dish that everyone loves. Whip up a batch of this creamy cheese and stick it in the fridge until guests come over. Our recipe is pretty straight forward, we use two types of cheese: sharp cheddar and sharp white cheddar to create this colorful cheese concoction. But there is one thing that makes our pimiento cheese stand out: the addition of dill pickle juice. Don't knock it until you try it. This tangy addition will win over even the non-pickle eaters. It's important to use a high-quality mayonnaise to bind all of these ingredients together (our personal favorite is Duke's). This loveable spread comes together in just 10 short minutes. It's versatile enough to be served as an appetizer with crackers and celery or can be transformed into a creamy pimento cheese sandwich. The options are truly endless with this one-of-a-kind Southern Pimiento Cheese recipe.

SOUTHWESTERN PIMENTO CHEESE

Southwestern Pimento Cheese image

I hate the mushy store bought style of pimento cheese. I prefer it a little drier than the traditional one so I came up with this. You can add more mayo to moisten if you want. This recipe should have texture so don't over mix everything. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. We like this spicy and usually add more heat.

Time 10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

16 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (not the fancy or finely shredded)
2 tablespoons chopped red onions
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 -2 teaspoon chili powder (mild or hot to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeno
4 ounces pimientos, drained
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's)
salt and pepper (optional)

Steps:

Combine first 7 ingredients. Stir in mayo until combined. Taste and add salt / pepper if necessary. I find the cheese and spices usually do not need additional salt.
If you can find it, use chipotle chile powder - it give the dip a wonderful smoky taste.

PIMENTO CHEESE

Categories appetizer

Time 15m

Yield About 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 baguette
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 ounces (1/4 cup) mayonnaise (Duke's is my favorite!)
8 ounces sharp white Cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounces (1/2 cup) diced jarred pimento or roasted red peppers (see Cook's Notes for homemade)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baguette on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until the bread is just warm and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the cream cheese and mayonnaise into a large mixing bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined. Add the Cheddar cheese. Mix until combined, then stir in the pimentos or bell peppers (add them last so they don't get too beat up). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook's Notes: Okay, so this recipe is pretty simple, right? And now you want to experiment and make it your own... Do you have a certain type of cheese you love? Feel free to substitute another type of cheese in for additional flavor. For example, substitute 2 ounces of blue cheese in for 2 ounces of the sharp white Cheddar cheese.
Feel like adding a little kick to your pimento cheese? Substitute another pepper or flavor in for the 2 ounces of pimentos. For example, I've tried Asian chili garlic sauce, kimchi, banana peppers, jalapenos, or grated horseradish.
To roast a red bell pepper, drizzle it with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 500 degrees F (260 degrees F) oven until the skin is charred, about 40 minutes, turning it halfway through to ensure even roasting. Remove it from the oven and immediately wrap the entire pepper in plastic wrap. Let it steam for 30 minutes. When it is cool to the touch, remove the skin with the back of a butter knife. Remove the stem, seeds and membrane. And that's all there is to it! It is a little more effort than buying jarred roasted peppers, but worth the work.
