How to Make Pimento Cheese Spread My Mom S Recipe

  1. Shred 8 ounces of velveeta cheese using a box grater or food processor.
  2. Finely chop 1 cup of pimentos (reserve some for garnish).

  4. Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
