One of the first dishes Southern cooks master is homemade pimento cheese. Every hostess may have her own special twist on the classic party dish, but this version will never let you down.
Our best pimento cheese recipe gets a signature crunch from toasted pecans and a dash of heat from ground red pepper. Blended together with creamy mayonnaise and sharp Cheddar cheese, it’s a combination that keeps guests coming back for seconds.
Pimiento cheese dip may be an easy appetizer for entertaining, but there’s just one way to mess up the recipe: pre-shredded cheese. In a dish this simple, texture is important.
