pimento cheese
Cheddar-pepper dip
Pimento cheese is a Southern American spread made from shredded cheese, mayonnaise, and chopped pimentos—the mild red peppers.
It's served on crackers, in sandwiches, or as a dip: She brought her grandmother's pimento cheese to the cookout.
Sometimes called "the caviar of the South" or simply "pimiento cheese," reflecting the Spanish spelling of the pepper.
