Mom’s Pimento Cheese

I have early memories of my mother coming home from the commissary in Gitmo and opening up a little jar of pimentos and making pimento cheese which my family would use for grilled cheese and as a dip.  Here is how my sister Anita remembers her recipe.

Ingredients –please note the lack of quantities listed

Cheddar cheese, sharp or extra sharp

Diced pimentos

Garlic salt

Mayonnaise

Dry vermouth

Instructions

Grate the cheese.

Add the rest of the ingredients except the vermouth.

Taste it for consistency and taste and then dash in some vermouth for the kicker.

 Best grilled cheese...and I love melting a bit in a bowl and eating with tortilla chips!
