We've never had pimento cheese before, but David speaks about it every April when The Masters are on! This year we've finally made our version...we looked online at quite a few recipes and found sweet piquante peppers in a local supermarket.
There's a delicious creaminess to it and balance of sweet with a bit of spice.
Tips
- Pimento peppers - I buy a jar of Peppadew sweet piquante peppers from my local supermarket.
- Enjoy this pimento cheese as a sandwich filler, on crackers or serve as a dip with crisps and/or sticks of carrot, cucumber and celery.
- This pimento cheese recipe can easily be adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
