Throughout the South, there is one immutable truth: We Southerners love our ’menna cheese.
For generations, this concoction of sharp Cheddar cheese and roasted red bell peppers, bound together with mayonnaise, has been a favorite at lunchtime tables, Southern cocktail parties, and just for snacking.
We like our beloved paté of the South served with crackers, dolloped on sliced summer tomatoes, slathered on burgers, and baked into a hot dip. Here are some of our favorite recipes for pimiento cheese:
- Hot Pimiento Cheese Dip
- Fruit and Nut Pimiento Cheese
- Alex’s Pimiento Cheese
- Classic Homemade Pimiento Cheese
- Smoked Pimiento Cheese
