Masters Pimento Cheese Spread

PA Mom-mom · ‎05-27-2015

I've had this spread in my laptop recipes for a few years and just didn't have a chance to make it. Made it today for my Easter gathering. My brothers have been to the Masters, and they remembered trying it. My SIL's asked for the recipe, so I guess it's a keeper. It was kind of boring just after making it, but the next day it was very good. The same recipe is on many websites, so I don't know where to place the credit.

The Masters’ Pimento Cheese Spread
Ingredients
2 Cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 Cup freshly shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 Oz cream cheese - room temp (I used Neufchatel)
1/2 Cup mayonnaise

1/4 Cup sour cream (my addition)
4 Oz diced pimentos - drained
1 Tbsp onion - grated
1/4 Tsp garlic powder
1/4 Tsp cayenne pepper (I used a bit more)
1/4 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp pepper

It should sit overnight (covered) or at least 8 hours in the refrigerator.

My aunt makes this and boy is it good! She puts it between sliced croissants and can eat three or four at a time it's that good and totally worth it.

@GenXmuse Is this recipe similar to her recipe? I have seen so many variations, I just can't tell which is authentic. Does it matter?

I love mine on toast! Of course, it's best made with Dukes mayonnaise!
