Pimiento cheese is undeniably one of the South’s favorite spreads.
After all, the rich, slightly spicy, sometimes crunchy spread is one of life’s small pleasures.
We’ve got quite a few creative recipes that incorporate pimiento cheese, from appetizers to the main event.

Basic Pimiento Cheese
Coarse, freshly-grated cheese works best, so get out your box grater.
Consider it as a foundation for layering delicious produce, like in this summer tart.
Pimiento cheese is spread on the crust and then zucchini, squash, and corn are piled on top.
