A coworker of mine is also from North Carolina, and for her birthday party I'm bringing pimento cheese sandwiches. I was beyond surprised when I couldn't find pimento cheese at my grocery store! I grew up not knowing it wasn't a nation-wide everyday food. You know growing up barbecue is Southern. Pimento cheese is so ingrained you never even think about it.

But I just tried the Zingerman's stuff from Holiday Market in Royal Oak - OMG is this fantastic! The smoky/spicy flavor and use of good cheese is totally addictive! My fat cells thank you (and I can't wait to pair this with bourbon).

The menu was delicious yet simple enough that I could get all ingredients at the Morton Williams down the block, execute each one perfectly, and make use of my beloved KitchenAid stand mixer we received as a wedding gift. Over the next week I’ll share each recipe for the above items. I’ll begin today with a southern favorite and one of the most popular items last night, pimiento cheese.

It's really very quick and easy, and can be served with veggies or spread on bread and crackers. Once they love it, then I tell them what it is!

I have been gently trying to talk my friends in Colorado into trying pimento cheese, but so far no takers. Was thrilled to see the pimento cheese burger mentioned above. My Dad and I made our cheese burgers with pimento stuffed green olives sliced thinly and scattered over the cheese after it was melted. I always added onions and tomatoes to this concoction, but no lettuce or pickles, and definitely no mustard or ketchup. Only mayonaisse. I do prefer my pimento cheese sandwiches with sweet tea and will have to try your recipe.

Thanks so much for asking about it. I'm particularly in love with pimento cheese on my burgers. It takes the place of both cheese and mayonnaise, and melts into a wonderful, sharp, creamy topping from the heat of the burger. I’ll contact our chefs and get back to you with a recipe shortly.

Is there anywhere else that has the pimento cheese recipe posted? I love the stuff, but can't make it back to AA enough to quench my tastes.
