Pimento Cheese

Prep Time: 15 Minutes Total Time: 15 Minutes

Servings: 8

This southern classic is good to keep on hand for a sandwich filling or a snack. For the best flavor, grate the cheese yourself and roast a small red bell pepper instead of using jarred pimentos.

If your mouth is sensitive, omit the cayenne pepper and black pepper. If you prefer more spice, add minced fresh garlic or garlic powder.

For a smoother texture, pulse in a food processor or blender for a few seconds.

Ingredients:

8 ounces regular or reduced-fat extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1 (4-ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained and patted dry
1/2 cup regular or reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
