There's one remarkable spread that holds a treasured spot at every Southern table; the legendary pimiento cheese spread. It's a beloved, tried-and-true dish that everyone loves. Whip up a batch of this creamy cheese and stick it in the fridge until guests come over. Our recipe is pretty straight forward, we use two types of cheese: sharp cheddar and sharp white cheddar to create this colorful cheese concoction. But there is one thing that makes our pimiento cheese stand out: the addition of dill pickle juice. Don't knock it until you try it. This tangy addition will win over even the non-pickle eaters. It's important to use a high-quality mayonnaise to bind all of these ingredients together (our personal favorite is Duke's). This loveable spread comes together in just 10 short minutes. It's versatile enough to be served as an appetizer with crackers and celery or can be transformed into a creamy pimento cheese sandwich. The options are truly endless with this one-of-a-kind Southern Pimiento Cheese recipe. 

Southern Pimiento Cheese Recipe

cheddar cheese

red peppers

mustard

dill pickle juice

Worcestershire sauce

mayonnaise,

pepper

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir again and add more mayonnaise if needed, as cheese will absorb mayonnaise during refrigeration. Add salt, pepper or cayenne if desired.


Wow! This is an excellent recipe.  Made it tonight for my husband.  We are both from the South, and loved the ingredients.  I used Cracker Barrel cheese and grated it fresh with the large-hole grater.  This really is The Best pimento cheese recipe we both have ever eaten.  I would not change a thing.  Tasted great with fresh celery or Pita Chips.   Used a couple of scoops on my vegetables for dinner as well.   This is the first food review I have ever written, but had to write it because this recipe is so good :)

We use one stand-out ingredient that sets this delicious pimiento cheese apart from the rest.
