pimento cheese recipe

This is our favorite pimento cheese recipe! This pimento cheese is partially whipped and has so much flavor. Perfect for dipping or melting!

Pimento Cheese

sharp white cheddar cheese, (freshly grated)

cream cheese, (softened)

pimentos, (drained)

mayonnaise

garlic powder

onion powder

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

kosher salt and pepper

chives, (for topping)

Freshly grate the cheddar cheese and set about 4 ounces of it aside.

Combine the cream cheese, drained pimentos, remaining white cheddar, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse and blend until combined and somewhat whipped - you don’t want to overwhip it. I pulse for about a minute off and on until it appears blended but not 100% smooth.

Remove the pimento cheese from the processor and place it in a bowl. Stir in the remaining white cheddar. At this point you can store it in the fridge for a few days. To serve, top with the fresh chives!

Serve with pretzels, crackers, chips, carrots, celery or any of your favorite dippers. Or make any of the recipes I linked above!

Enjoy your retirement, Jeannie! My husband and I will be retiring in about 2 1/2 years. We will be moving to NC from NY to be near our son and daughter-in-law and our 2 precious grandsons and our daughter and her fiance. It's really going to be weird, since we were always near our beautiful Long Island Beaches, but soon we will be in the beautiful mountains of NC! Thanks for responding to my comments! I look forward to crafting with you and Trendy Tree again!

Hi Jeannie!!! 
I'm Yvonne from Long Island, NY. I just wanted to say that I made your Aunt Mildred’s Velvetta Pimento Cheese, and honestly it was absolutely delicious both warm and cold! So after a few days, I still had about half left in the fridge, and I heated that, a half block more of  cream cheese, a container of Ragu Double Cheddar cheese sauce, about a cup of shredded cheddar jack, some pepper, (was perfectly salty enough), and probably about a teaspoon each of garlic powder, and onion powder. Can you tell I just grabbed whatever I had available? I just winged it. While it heated, I mixed it all together with a stick blender, which blended the pimentos too. When it was hot, I mixed the whole thing together with shell pasta and Oh MY, it was the BEST Mac n Cheese I EVER made!!!! It was so creamy and delicious! I just felt the need to share this with you! 
Thank you for your Aunt Mildred’s Velvetta Pimento Cheese! That alone was delicious!!!
I have been following you on Trendy Tree and now on your blog for years now and I've learned, and continue to learn so much from you and Carrie! Thank you so much!

Pimento Cheese Dip

cheddar cheese

pimentos (drained)

jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced (optional))

garlic

red pepper flakes

salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Potato chips (for serving)

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, drained pimentos, minced jalapeño, granulated garlic, red pepper flakes, and onion powder. Mix until thoroughly combined and creamy.

Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to cool room temperature before serving. Serve with potato chips, crackers, or crudités for dipping.

So darn good!  I wonder how diced roasted red peppers would be instead of the pimentos?  I have a few family members who don’t like pimentos.

This is very similar to the Saveur Magazine Southern Cooking class recipe I used to teach! So good! I’m a southerner and it’s split opinions with cream cheese as an ingredient and as an abomination. Cream cheese for the win!

Gaby, Gaby, Gaby.  Love all your recipes so much.  But I'm a born and bred Louisville girl and you just can't put cream cheese in pimento cheese for Derby! Nope, just can't :)

Yum! Raised with a southern mom in California, I grew up eating pimento cheese in our household. I never got a chance to ask my mom how she makes hers, so this recipe was a pleasant discovery because I never made a bad WGC recipe! We are a Tillamook cheese household, too, so this was something we wanted to try! 10/10 recommend … so good. Thanks, Gaby!

10000/10! Best dip ever. Nobody could stop eating this at our Masters party. Perfection!

This was fantastic! Nobody could stay out of it. 10/10 across the board. (I subbed Greek yogurt for the mayo due to an egg allergy, then whipped it together with the cream cheese with a hand mixer.)

So so so delish !!!   Gaby, you nailed this one

okay, okay, okay. I will be making this over the weekend, and I will start F 1, to see what it is all about!!!
