Classic Pimiento Cheese

"If you would like to spice this up a bit you can add a dash of garlic juice or puree or worcestershire sauce. Also green onion or hot sauce instead of cayenne. Spread this on thickly on bread, toast or inside celery sticks."

directions

  • Combine half the Cheddar and half the Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Mix together lightly. Knead in 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise until mixture is creamy and very smooth.
  • Work in remaining cheese, garlic, shallot, pimientos, 1 tablespoon of reserved pimiento liquid, a dash of cayenne and a small pinch of dry mustard. Knead just enough to mix well: it should still have plenty of texture. Add remaining mayonnaise, if necessary—just enough to make it spreadable.
  • Let stand 30 minutes. Serve cool or at room temperature.
