Ingredients
Method
- Grate the cheddar cheese into a bowl. While you can use pre-grated cheese many have fillers and to achieve a creamier texture we like to grate our own.
- Drain and chopped the pimentos (reserving liquid)
- Blend together and chill. If you want a smoother spread you can add reserved pimento liquid until desired texture is achieved.
- Whether slathered on freshly baked biscuits, nestled between layers of a classic sandwich, or served alongside crisp celery sticks, this Southern delicacy embodies the spirit of hospitality that defines the South. Let the soulful charm of Pimento Cheese bring a touch of Southern comfort to your table.
