I have made this recipe once before.  I had planned a spicy meal so this was designed to start the meal with a mellow appetizer.  This time I decided it would be fun to serve on zucchini and on squash.  It also provided really nice color contrast with the red pimentos against the green and yellow vegetables.
Pimento cheese is a very traditional Southern offering. Â I have found it to be very versatile and have also used it in grilled cheese sandwiches.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of Jarlsburg cheese, shredded
- 1/2 a loaf of cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 of a jar of pimentos, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbsp pepperocini brine
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 whole zucchini and squash, sliced
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Â Mix well and move to a fridge and let set for a couple of hours. Â Slice the vegetables using a mandolin to about 1/4″ of thickness. Â To serve, take the slices and lay them on your serving tray. Â Then, take a tsp and scoop out a tsp full of cheese and place on the vegetable slices. Â Enjoy!
I am not sure what that is, but it is NOT traditional pimiento cheese. However, it looks good and would be a nice change-up from the traditional.
I learned that with my research. This recipe is from a Southern recipe book I have. So do not shoot the messenger. Would love to see your more traditional recipe. So please share one.
Awesome! They look like a fantastic appetizer, simple and lite. Great job 🙂
