Nanas Pimento Cheese Recipes

OUR FAVORITE PIMENTO CHEESE

Our Favorite Pimento Cheese image

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. The time you take to pull out your box grater and shred by hand will pay off in taste. Can't wait for your next gathering to whip up a batch of Southern pimento cheese? Brighten up lunchtime with a hearty pimento cheese sandwich- we'll take ours with garden-fresh tomato slices on the side!

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's or Duke's
1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated onion
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (8-oz.) block extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (8-oz.) block sharp Cheddar cheese
Celery sticks and assorted crackers

Steps:

Make the mayo mixture. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, diced pimiento, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, and ground red pepper until blended.
Toast the pecans. Toasting brings out the rich flavor of the nuts. Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. (Stirring helps to ensure even browning.)
Shred the cheese. Trust us - texture matters. Using the small side of a box grater, finely shred extra-sharp Cheddar cheese. Then use the large side of the grater to coarsely shred sharp Cheddar cheese. Fresh cheese makes a difference.
Stir and enjoy. Add pecans and shredded cheeses to mayo mixture, stirring until blended. You can store it in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Serve with celery sticks and assorted crackers, or make a grilled pimento cheese sandwich in a skillet or panini press.

NANA'S PIMENTO CHEESE

Nana's Pimento Cheese image

Nana is DH's mother...and I can't get enough of her pimento cheese. The optionals are the stuff that I add when I want to dress her's up..but for the kids, just the way she makes it is wonderful. We serve it with ritz crackers and celery. We prefer to use the Vermont or Kraft brand of cheese. We like to eat it warm too cause it is more spreadable and who wants to wait till it's cool?

Categories Spreads

Time 10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

8 ounces mild cheddar cheese, grated
8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
1 (4 ounce) bottle diced pimentos, and liquid
1 (8 ounce) package of softened neufchatel cheese (NO non fat) or 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese (NO non fat)
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1 -2 tablespoon very hot apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon finely grated onion (or dried equivalent)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco jalapeno sauce
1 pimento stuffed olive, sliced thinly

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix grated cheeses and whole bottle of pimentos and liquids. Mix gently. Add block of SOFTENED cream cheese, 1 TB of mayo and 1 TB HOT apple cider vinegar(this helps soften the mix farther for easier mixing). If you need more liquid, add more HOT apple cider vinegar.
I use all the optionals at one time and I love it. Experiment and see how you like it.
Serve on crackers and cleaned celery stalks topped with sliced green olive.
Also, try wrapping a piece of melon (like cantelope) and a dollop of pimento cheese in a piece of ham. Yum!
