The pimento cheese recipe involves the blending of the cheese and cream cheese with other ingredients including mayo and then blending them until they attain the required texture. It gets to settle down and your pimento cheese gets ready in no time.

What is Pimento Cheese?

Captain Rodney’s Pimento cheese is a cheese dip made by mixing cheesy ingredients in it. Shredded cheddar cheese is added to it for turning it into the exact and authentic one. Along with the cheddar, you can also add mozzarella and cream cheese is also mandatory for your Pimento dip.

Pimento cheese must be a bit thick after blending as it is its quality for being yummiest and flavorful and you must make sure to attain this required texture.

Use of correct Equipment

You can use a hand whisk for mixing all the ingredients but there will be chunks left in the mixture which will ruin your whole spread.

I personally suggest using the electric blender as it will make an exact textured spread with zero chunks and a classy consistency that is exact for your dip. The use of spoon, fork, or hand whisks is not supported from my side in this recipe.

Refrigerating the Pimento Cheese

The mixed pimento cheese is then put in the refrigerator for at least half an hour before serving and you can keep it stored in the refrigerator with the same fresh flavor for a week at least. After a week you have to waste it and make a new one.

Refrigeration causes the dip to get thicker so you have to keep it at room temperature before using it so that it will be softened and you can easily handle it to spread in your sandwiches.

Serving the Pimento Cheese

Transfer the pimento cheese dip into a serving bowl of a smaller size and serve it along with your fries on your platter.

This will definitely double the fun of your food and you will be happiest to have this recipe in your recipe book in just one go, you will get an expert in this recipe.
