Ingredients
- 1 cup Homemade Mayonnaise, recipe follows
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped sage
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 ounces Colby cheese, grated (2 cups)
- 8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (2 cups)
- 1 (4-ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- Pumpernickel bread, or bread of your choice
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sage, lemon juice, mustard, cayenne, and Worcestershire sauce with a rubber spatula.
Add the two cheeses and pimientos, blending thoroughly to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use. Spread between 2 slices of bread.
Homemade Mayonnaise:
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 cups canola oil
In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, a blender, or the jar of mayonnaise maker, combine the yolks, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar, and cayenne. Pulse several times to blend.
With the processor running at high speed, or while quickly dashing the plunger of a mayonnaise maker, very slowly drizzle in the oil, allowing it to fully integrate as added until all the oil has been incorporated.

I made the pimento cheese and served it with Sea Salt Bagel Bites instead of making a sandwich and took it to a pot luck event. I did omit the sage and substitued some chopped fresh parsley and a little fresh rosemary. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. Will definitely make again.

Made this as a tea sandwich on white bread. Everyone loved it. The flavor was a little rich for a tea party, but it's still a do-over. I doubled the sage and it still wasn't too strong. Love this!
