What’s in a Pimento Cheese Sandwich?
Cheese: Sharp cheddar is your best bet for the boldest flavor, but you can use mild, Velveeta, or even some blue cheese or feta.
Cream Cheese: Whole fat or lite cream cheese adds creamy texture plus blends better and faster if it’s used at room temperature.
Mayonnaise: Any brand will do. Avoid sandwich spreads like Miracle Whip dressing because they’re too sweet against the cheddar cheese and pimentos.
Bread: This recipe calls for white bread for the authentic golf club recipe, but you can use any bread you like, or even tortillas.
Variations
- Some like it hot. Try it with ½ -1 diced fresh jalapeno (seeds removed), or a small can of jalapenos, or a splash of Tabasco.
- Add color and flavor with optional sundried tomatoes or black olives.
- Serve as a filler for devilled eggs and jalapeno poppers. Make mile-high pimento cheese sandwiches using thick slices of cucumber, tomatoes, or tangy homemade pickles.

Storing Leftover Pimento Cheese
- Keep pimento cheese separate from bread in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- We do not recommend freezing pimento cheese because it will become grainy when thawed due to its high dairy content.
- Use refrigerated leftovers as a spread on burgers, wraps, or dip served with crackers, chips, or veggies.
