Pimento cheese sandwiches on a grey plate with crinkle crisps. Small bowl of extra sandwich filler, jar of piquante peppers and yellow napkin in background
Jump to Recipe

We've never had pimento cheese before, but David speaks about it every April when The Masters are on! This year we've finally made our version...we looked online at quite a few recipes and found sweet piquante peppers in a local supermarket.

There's a delicious creaminess to it and balance of sweet with a bit of spice.

Tips

  • Pimento peppers – I buy a jar of Peppadew sweet piquante peppers from my local supermarket.
  • Enjoy this pimento cheese as a sandwich filler, on crackers or serve as a dip with crisps and/or sticks of carrot, cucumber and celery.
  • This pimento cheese recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.

Ingredients
