Pimiento Cheese & Crackers Bunting
Tailgating snacks need not be complex & when you have a few weekend provisions already prepared, it makes feeding a crowd that much easier. Party Pimiento Cheese may be served in a variety of ways. It’s wonderful when accompanied with chicken salad classics for lunch & offered as lovely tea sandwiches for bridal showers when elevated social gatherings are in order or it may be used to stack on sliders, spread over crostini toasts & serve as the foundation for delicious layered dips when football parties beckon. It’s long been an all around favorite so be certain to use it in a variety of traditional & new ways throughout the year.

How To Make Pimiento Cheese The Right Way
There are a few things you should know about this timeless southern belle.
Follow these tips for success in your own kitchen.
The Technique
The Secret To Fabulous Pimiento Cheese
The biggest mistake people make when whipping up a batch is taking the tempting shortcut of using pre-shredded cheese. Pimiento cheese demise. The cheese is coated to ensure it doesn’t clump & cake in the bag so it doesn’t absorb the mayonnaise based dressing the way that it should. You’ll notice the bypass of shredding your own on a table of potluck specialties. Stringy. Loose. Soup-y. Let the cheese stand at room temperature 20 minutes for quick grating. Use the large holes of a box grater to capture a large amount of onion quickly. Run a chef knife through it several times to mince it for a nice mild onion flavor without the large bits of onion. If prepared correctly, there’s nothing quite like it.
