Perfect Pimento Cheese
 
 
This delightful Southern spread makes a quick easy lunch or an elegant grilled cheese dinner. Go ahead and make a batch to keep on hand!
Ingredients
  • 4 ounces chevre (or cream cheese)
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar
  • 1 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons chopped pimentos
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl or mixer and blend well.
  2. You can use it right away, but it tastes better when it has had a few hours to sit in the refrigerator getting happy.
Notes
My mom and I disagree on the subject of sugar in the pimento cheese. I like it fine without it, she insists that a little sugar is a must and always tries to sneak it in when I'm not looking. Use your own judgement and go with what tastes good to you!
