Mama Dew’s Pimiento Cheese

Mama Dew's Kitchen (Daddo's Best Friend) Main Course Favorites American

Mama Dew's spin on a classic family favorite for picnics and beach trips.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz mild cheddar cheese
  • 2 oz Colby Jack cheese
  • 2 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 T. mayonnaise
  • 1 jar diced pimientos
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Using a food processor, shred cheese and place in mixing bowl.  Add pimientos; mix thoroughly,

Add mayonnaise - start with one tablespoon, mix thoroughly and add as much remaining mayonnaise as needed to make a creamy mixture.  Add black pepper to taste. Salt should not be needed.

Makes 4-6 sandwiches

Instructions

The best way to determine if the pimiento cheese is exactly the way you want it is to spread one teaspoon on a half a slice of bread, just enough for one bite.  This way, you get the best ratio of pimiento cheese spread to bread and can make adjustments as needed

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve at a picnic at the beach or on a fishing trip alongside Mission tortilla strips and E.L. Fudge cookies.
  • Also makes a great dinner when used for toasted cheese sandwiches - especially on the last night of a family beach trip when everyone is sunburned and no one feels like cooking or going out.
