Chef's Notes
Do not skip the resting time in the fridge! That hour of chilling allows the mayonnaise, cheese, and pimentos to truly become one magnificent spread.
Pro Tip
Always grate your own cheese from blocks instead of buying pre-shredded. The anti-caking agents in pre-bagged cheese ruin the smooth, velvety texture we are aiming for here.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Using low-fat mayonnaise will watery-down your spread into a sad, separated soup that refuses to cling to any cracker.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the pimento cheese go to therapy? Because it had too many mixed feelings about whether it belongs on a burger or a cracker!
The Culinary Science
Chilling pimento cheese allows the fat molecules in the cheddar to firm up slightly while absorbing the moisture and tang from the mayonnaise, creating a much richer flavor profile.
