Pimento Cheese, also referred to as Southern Caviar, is quite frankly, heaven in a bowl. This recipe originally debuted on our sister website, Living Well Spending Less over 7 years ago but is still such a true Southern classic.
The secret to making the best pimento cheese is to freshly grate the cheese yourself. Seriously, don’t underestimate the flavor of freshly grated cheese for this recipe. You won’t regret the time it takes to hand shred the cheese.

- ¼ tsp. ground red pepper
