Description

I am crazy about pimento cheese and this is the best recipe that I have ever tried and it doesn’t need cream cheese. My only stipulation is that Duke’s® mayonnaise makes a delicious difference.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded aged sharp Cheddar cheese, at room temperature
  • ½ cup jarred pimento peppers, drained and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (such as Duke’s®)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce

  1. Combine Cheddar cheese
  2. pimento peppers
  3. and green onions in a medium bowl.
  4. Combine mayonnaise
  5. black pepper
  6. salt
  7. cayenne pepper
  8. and hot sauce in another bowl.
  9. Stir mayonnaise mixture gently into the cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.
