Pimento Cheese

[Steve Petrone]

Years ago I'd grate cheddar, add mayo, pimneto, mince a little onion, perhaps some chopped green olives....

Anybody care to share a recipe?

The base I make is 1 lb cheddar, .5 lbs Monterey Jack, a 4oz jar of pimentos, 1 clove of garlic and 3-4 T of mayo (I use TJ's yellow label). A little cayenne.

Often I add either minced white or spring or Vidalia onion and/or green olives, minced, or a minced dill pickle or two.
