Pimiento Cheese

This classic Southern spread is equally delicious with crackers or crudités or as a sandwich spread—try it with grilled chicken breast, ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, and crisp lettuce.

Makes about 1½ cups

2. Season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper.
3. Pack into a small crock and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
4. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours for flavors to develop.
