I love this recipe! It is good as it is, and sometimes I change it up a bit. I add more cayenne to suit our taste for HEAT and use half pepper jack and half cheddar because we really love pepper jack... It tastes great as a leftover too.

I found this recipe in Guy's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" cookbook that I checked out at the library. I love pimento cheese and was intrigued by the "spicy" ingredients. We like all things spicy at our house. We LOVE this recipe. Yes, it's light on the mayonnaise, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It just cuts the fat content a little bit and is a plus for folks who don't care for mayo. Also, if making a sandwich, it might not be as easy to spread on your bread, but once you take a bite, you will never miss the mayonnaise. There is a nice balance of flavors. If you're making the pimento cheese for folks who don't care for "heat," you could maybe sub Monteray Jack for Pepper Jack and maybe leave out the cayenne and hot sauce, however, I don't think it's "that" hot. I have a family member who cannot take heat, and she loves this recipe. Now I want to check out The Penguin restaurant the next time I go to Charlotte!
