Gotta be Dukes mayo.
Preferably no cream cheese, but can also be great with.
Mix of coarse and fine grated cheese.
Mix of mild and sharp cheddar.

Meatchurch's new recipe is really good. I would add more pimentos though.

1 jar of pimentos
4oz Fresh Grated PepperJack
4oz Fresh Grated Cheddar
4oz Softened Cream or Neufchatel Cheese
1/4 Cup of Mayo
1tsp Onion Powder
1tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Cayenne
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper

Use a mixer to whip the cream/neufchatel cheese and mayo together. Add in the remaining ingredients until well incorporated. Add in additional mayo 1 tbsp at a time if too thick.

Taste best after it's been in the fridge in a tupperware for a couple of hours.

It's just Mayo, Peppers, and Cheese. To me, the key is you can't cut corners and use pre-shredded cheese. You have to get blocks and shred yourself. It doesn't take that much time to do so and the cheese is much better.

Peppadews & roasted piquillo peppers instead of jarred pimentos.

Favorite Pimiento Cheese

Make this crowd-pleaser in minutes--but every step counts, so no fudging!

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, such as Blue Plate or Duke's
4 oz jarred diced pimiento, drained
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp finely grated onion
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 cup chopped pecans
8 oz extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
8 oz.sharp Cheddar cheese
Celery sticks and assorted crackers

1. Make the mayo mixture. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, diced pimiento, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, and ground red pepper until blended.

2. Toast the pecans. Toasting brings out the rich flavor of the nuts. Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. (Stirring helps to ensure even browning.)

3. Shred the cheese. Trust us--texture matters. Using the small side of a box grater, finely shred extra-sharp Cheddar cheese. Then use the large side of the grater to coarsely shred sharp Cheddar cheese. Fresh cheese makes a difference.

4. Stir and enjoy. Add pecans and shredded cheeses to mayo mixture, stirring until blended. You can store it in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Serve with celery sticks and assorted crackers, or make a grilled pimiento cheese sandwich in a skillet or panini press.

Shredded sharp cheddar
Shredded mozzarella
Chopped roasted red peppers
Kewpie mayo
Meat Church Blanco to taste
Lots of fresh dill
Splash of W sauce of Worcestershire sauce

Needs to be barely held together by mayo…don’t overdo it.

If you’ve had the pimento cheese from a Central Market in Texas…this is pretty dang close.

That’s the basics, do that and it’ll be good.

I’ll alter mine a bit from time to time. Cream cheese, I’ve done it with and without. Usually I’ll add a couple dashes of Worcestershire. And I’ll change it up, sometimes a tablespoon or two of sour cream, maybe some jalapeño, finely diced onion, green onion, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne.

If you’re really trying to amplify flavor, I’d go kewpie over blue plate or Duke’s

I put a little celery salt in mine, maybe a quarter teaspoon. Don’t overdo the mayo. You don’t need as much as you think. Also a bit of the pimento juice adds flavor and keeps it from getting too thick.
