Whether you grew up in the South or not, this Pimento cheese sandwich recipe is a must try. It has the perfect blend of cheese, mayo and seasonings and can easily be found at the grocery store.

This appetizer recipe is perfect served for lunch or a light dinner. You may even have grew up on Bacon Sandwiches or a Turkey Melt Sandwich. I love making these classics sandwiches for my kids now. Serve it with my pimento cheese recipe.

Why We Love This Recipe:

I’m extremely picky about Pimento cheese. It can’t have too much mayonnaise or be too dry. The cheese blend has to be just right. I definitely prefer when sharp cheddar is used and consider it a non negotiable.

I usually find something wrong with store bought pimento cheese because it has to be just right. Needless to say, this recipe is just perfect. You are going to love it because we did all the work to get it just right.

Ingredients:

Pimento Cheese Sandwich Ingredients - cheese, cream cheese, pimento peppers, mayonnaise, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, pepper, white bread
  • Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded) 
  • Cream Cheese
  • Pimento Peppers
  • Mayonnaise 
  • Garlic Powder 
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Black Pepper  
  • Sliced White Bread 

For the full list of ingredients and recipe, scroll to the bottom to see the recipe card.

Variations:

  • Spices – Add cayenne pepper if you like a little heat but omit if you prefer a traditional pimento cheese. Check out Best Cayenne Pepper Substitute if you don’t like to use cayenne. We even like to add in salt and pepper and onion powder for added flavor.
  • Vegetables – Add red bell peppers or roasted red peppers to the cheese mixture and enjoy this way. Veggie lovers will like this.
  • Cheese – Feel free to use different types of cheese. I have even added in Pepper Jack Cheese for added flavor.

Step by Step Instructions:

  • Step 1 – Put all of the ingredients (except for the bread) in a large mixing bowl. 
  • Step 2 – Use a hand held mixer or stir by hand to get everything well combined. If you are doing this by hand, make sure to use a sturdy spoon. You can also use a food processor to help get everything combined.

  • Step 3 – Make your sandwich by spooning pimento cheese on the slices of bread. Cut and enjoy.

Recipe Tips:

  • Shredded Cheese – I suggest taking a few extra minutes to grate the cheese yourself. It has a different consistency then bags of shredded cheese and the pimento cheese will turn out much better.
  • Cream Cheese – Make sure to use full fat cream cheese. Now isn’t the time to try light or fat free.
  • Drain Pimento – Drain the piment well before mixing with other ingredients. No one likes runny pimento cheese.
  • Mayonnaise – Use a good quality mayo. Most people are pretty loyal to one brand so just use what you love. You may even try Greek Yogurt for a lighter option.

Serving Suggestions:

Pimento cheese isn’t just for sandwiches. Try some of these ideas.

  • Burger – Top your burger with this yummy pimento cheese spread.
  • Grilled Cheese – Make a grilled cheese with pimento cheese.
  • Homemade Biscuits Add to breakfast biscuits. This is great on bacon biscuits.
  • Serve with Crackers – Eat with crackers as a dip. Pickles and olives go great with this too.
  • Make a Dip – Heat the pimento cheese in the oven and serve as a hot dip with celery sticks, tortilla chips or pita chips. Once out of the oven, top with a little spicy tomato jam before serving.
  • Quesadilla – Try it on a quesadilla. You can use it as a topping or enjoy alone. Either way, it is the best.
  • Tomatoes – This is delicious with fried green tomatoes. You can serve it on top of the tomatoes as an appetizer.
  • BLT– This is a little different than a traditional BLT. Add bacon, fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese to toasted bread. Slice and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How to Store Leftovers:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Pimento cheese will last about 5 days if stored properly..

How to Freeze:

We do not recommend freezing pimento cheese because when it thaws the texture may change.

    Pimento cheese is one of my all time favs! The addition of mayo helped with the creaminess and a little cayenne goes a long way. A hand held mixer does work best for blending. I did omit garlic powder this time. Thanks Carrie!

    My husband loves pimento cheese and he said this was his favorite ! Easy to make and delicious!

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      That makes my day to hear! ? Please tell your husband thank you for the sweet compliment. I’m so glad it was easy to make and that it turned out to be his favorite. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!

  25. Nancy says:

    I haven’t tried the recipe yet but it sounds amazing. When I was growing up we had pickle and pimento sandwiches and was just wondering if you have any ideas what type of pickles would be good with your recipe or if you have a recipe for that?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      That sounds like such a wonderful childhood memory! ? Dill pickle slices are my favorite with pimento cheese because they add a nice tangy crunch, but sweet pickles or bread and butter pickles are delicious too if you like a sweeter flavor. I don’t have a pickle sandwich recipe, but I think adding your favorite pickles to this one would be absolutely delicious. I hope you get a chance to try it!

  26. Brenda Gregory says:

  29. Molly says:

    I want to try this recipe because it is fairly low in sodium if i only eat 1/2 the sandwich and the potassium is low.
    My nickname was “Mouse”, when I was a child, because I loved cheese so much. Still do, but with stage 4 kidney disease, it’s not often I find something I love, that I can still eat. Thank you for this recipe, Carrie.

    I absolutely loved this pimento cheese sandwich recipe! The spread was creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, with just the right balance of tanginess and seasoning.

This is definitely a recipe I’ll be making again and again. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves comfort food with big flavor!

    This is exactly how I make my pimento cheese and it’s wonderful. I love the heat the cayenne gives it. I love a grilled cheese sandwich with this, or just using it as a dip for crackers and veggies. I take it to potlucks and it’s always a favorite.

  147. Dotty says:

    Is there another cheese other than cream cheese I can use in this recipe. I can’t. Eat cream cheese but I miss pimento cheese sandwiches

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Absolutely! ? You can leave out the cream cheese and use a little extra mayonnaise for a more traditional Southern-style pimento cheese. Greek yogurt or sour cream can also work, although they’ll change the flavor and texture a bit. I hope you find a version you can enjoy again!
