Pimento cheese (or pimiento cheese) is a spread typically made of cheese, mayonnaise, and pimentos and is typically served on crackers and vegetables or in sandwiches. There are ingredient variations among family recipe, commercial recipe, and regional versions.
Although the recipe has its origins in the northern United States, it is generally most closely associated with the cuisine of the Southern United States.
