For the best flavor, use high-quality, extra-sharp Cheddar cheese. Duke's mayonnaise is recommended for its tangy flavor, but any good-quality mayonnaise will work. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. To make a smoother spread, you can use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process, as it can become too liquidy. For a chunkier spread, hand-shred the cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese.

Dec 23, 2024So easy to make, and tastes so much better than store-bought. I'll never buy pimento cheese again!
