Pimento Cheese

Ingredients:

8 ounces pimentos, drained and finely chopped (you can find 4 of the small 2-ounce jars of the diced pimentos in virtually any grocery store)

2, 8-ounce blocks of sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (easy to do in a food processor)

½ cup mayonnaise

White sandwich bread

Preparation:

Combine the pimentos and cheese, beating until smooth (I use an electric hand mixer). Beat in the mayonnaise. I like mine chunky but, if you don’t, pulse the cheese and pimentos in a food processor until smooth. This spread freezes well.

The traditional way to serve this spread is on slices of white sandwich bread while the mixture is room temperature. I like to put some pickle slices on mine!

This stuff also makes fabulous grilled-cheese sandwiches.
