Cheese Pimiento
Recipe byWhen I make cheese pimiento spread these days, I use three kinds of cheese — Parmesan, cream cheese and cheddar. The spread is creamier and the flavors are fantastic.
Ingredients
- 175 grams butter softened
- 175 grams cream cheese softened
- 175 grams Parmesan finely grated (feta is great too!)|
- 175 grams sharp cheddar shredded
- ½ cup chopped pimiento preferably roasted and skinned (see notes below)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the butter, cream cheese and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Do not overmix though because you don’t want the butter cream to separate from the fats.
- Add the Parmesan, cheddar and pimiento. Stir until blended.
- Spread on bread. Enjoy!
Notes
Roasted pimiento is really best as the smokiness add so much in terms of aroma and flavor. You can use roasted fresh pimiento, or the kind that comes in jars.
If you can’t get roasted pimiento and you use canned, choose skinless pimiento because the skins have a nasty way of getting stuck on the roof of the mouth which isn’t a pleasant sensation at all.
