Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
I remember eating pimento cheese sandwiches as a child and hearing how my grandmother would make it from scratch for my mom when she was growing up.
Of course, my mom is many things but when I was growing up, a made from scratch cook was not one of them; we ate premade, processed store brand pimento cheese spread. Now, while it wasn’t gross, I did not realize how good pimento cheese spread could be until I started experimenting on my own.
Oh. My. Goodness. This stuff is definitely delish!! Now, you know I have to try out my finished products on family and friends to see if it is blog worthy. I have a friend, who is a very good sport, who admitted he hated pimento cheese spread as a kid, but once he tried this, I kid you not, his face lit up!! He came back for seconds, thirds, heck I had to send him home with a container. Here’s hoping your friends and family think it is as big a hit!!
- 16 oz goat's milk cheese, softened *
- 7 oz jar chopped pimento, partially drained
- ¼ cup red or green bell pepper, finely chopped
- ¼ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- ⅛ tsp minced garlic
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste (optional)
- In a dish with sides, flatten out softened goat cheese with a fork.
- Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Add pimentos with enough liquid to be able to blend with fork but not enough to make soupy.
My 16 and 12 year daughters LOVES this but we added Sriracha Sauce and removed bell peppers. So Good!
