PIMIENTO CHEESE



Pimiento Cheese image

This is the ultimate pimiento cheese recipe. What makes this pimiento cheese better than average? Besides not using cream cheese, which is something the southern-raised experts in our test kitchens felt strongly about, this recipe calls for beating the cheese mixture to make it smoother and more spreadable. According to them, it's hard to beat too long. Combine that technique with a little extra prep-grating your own cheese makes all the difference here-and a few non-traditional ingredients-soy sauce, pickled jalapeño peppers and Dijon really amp up the flavor. This pimiento cheese isn't just cheesy and creamy, it's also slightly spicy, deeply savory and a tiny bit tangy. With so much going on, this totally nontraditional, but absolutely irresistible take on pimiento cheese is a must try!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your pimiento cheese is flavorful and delicious.
  • Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent the cheese from melting smoothly.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. A cheap mayonnaise will make your pimiento cheese bland.
  • Add some heat. A little bit of cayenne pepper or paprika will give your pimiento cheese a nice kick.
  • Don't overmix. Overmixing will make your pimiento cheese tough.

Conclusion:

Pimiento cheese is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a dip, a sandwich spread, or a filling for deviled eggs. It can also be used as a topping for burgers, hot dogs, and nachos. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, pimiento cheese is sure to be a hit.
