I'm a big fan of homemade cheese spread - as a child my mom would make her own version with grated cheddar, mayo, and bacon instead of pimiento. While that was very delicious, I wanted to make the southern version of pimiento cheese. So, recently I made it for dinner using a recipe from Martha Stewart and making slight changes.
It was creamy and sweet and cheesy and so good on ciabatta rolls! An easy dinner and everyone loved it.
1 1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar
1 1/2 c. grated monterrey jack
1/2 real mayo
1 tiny jar of pimientos, undrained
freshly grated black pepper, salt
Mix all together and chill. Serve on bread, rolls, toast, celery sticks...
There's nothing like fresh grated cheese. I used to buy the big bags of pre-shredded cheese, but what I found was that we ended up eating too much cheese and it didn't melt or taste quite the same - fresh is best. Still, I made this a couple of hours in advance of dinner, and the next day it was even better!
