Author's Notes: I don’t know how common pimento cheese is in other parts of the country, but I can’t remember the last time I went to a party where it wasn’t served. There is a lot of nasty pimento cheese out there (the stuff at grocery deli counters is particularly gruesome), but good homemade pimento cheese is a revelation. I like it best on Townhouse crackers, but you can also serve it on a sliced baguette, with tortilla chips, or as a sandwich filling.
Pimento Cheese
8 oz (1 package) sharp cheddar cheese
4 oz (1/2 package) cream cheese (or you can use goat cheese if you have it and are feeling swanky)
1 4 oz jar of diced pimentos
A good spoonful of mayonnaise (around 1-2 Tbsp)
2 cloves garlic
Big pinch of cayenne
Pinch of salt
Chop the cheeses into chunks. Crush the garlic. Put all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until mixed but still a little chunky. Serve at room temperature.
