Chef Pentates in here today. We're making homemade Pimento cheese a southern true stable Absolutely delicious. We're gonna use a very special ingredient. It's gonna take it up a notch This is a very famous thing to get when you're at the Masters golf tournament When you're out in the course one of the things that they do is a sell dollar 50 Pimento sandwiches, which is awesome So here we go We're gonna start off with some sharp cheddar and some extra sharp cheddar Those are very important ingredients from you some sour cream some cottage cheese chives and here's our secret ingredient guys We're gonna put some chipotle peppers in there Which is just gonna give it a little bit of smokiness and a deeper depth of flavor. It's awesome So here's one of the most important keys Using a box grater you want to get the texture on the cheese You'll see that the grains are really long and that's what's gonna give us that Pimento cheese texture that we're so used to having So we got about two cups there. It doesn't have to be very very exact but roughly two cups Because when you're grading things aren't exact and we're gonna use about a cup here of extra sharp New York cheddar You guys can find that your grocery stores pretty common these days. We're going for a little over a cup So we're gonna have the link below with all the instructions and all the measurements for you nice and easy guys So this is an eight ounce pack of cream cheese if you let it come to room temperature It's a lot easier to handle and mix together Get some mayo in there whatever your favorite is we're going for four tablespoons here And cottage cheese make sure it's small curd and that's the important part We want it to offer great texture but not take over the dish and be all about cottage cheese And honestly if you don't like cottage cheese you'll never even notice it's in there But we're making a cheese dish so that's our you probably like cottage cheese too, but if not you can skip that It's about three-fourths of a cup And that's what's fun about this dish is it is a little bit of approximates you guys can do a little more of this a little less of that But the recipe I've got on the website is what I exactly did and it turned out phenomenal So I'm gonna take two chipotle peppers these ones aren't very large And I'm gonna mince them up as much as possible. Don't worry about the seeds the seeds I've been roasted the whole peppers much sweeter. This is not hot. This is more of a smoky flavor So what I got in there was two teaspoons total two teaping teaspoons So you could go with full tablespoon, but I wouldn't I'll just do two and bring all that together Now the reason we're mixing this up separately is we want to make sure that the cheese that we took the time to grate doesn't just get mushed into mush We want to keep the textures So we're gonna add some chive I took ten chives there and just really make small cuts so that it just it will evenly disperse all over and mix that in and now We're gonna bring in our cheese and we're gonna lightly fold everything together and That's the way you do it. That's part of the trick right there. We're preserving the texture of our grated cheese You guys might be asking where's the pimento's well same goes with the pimento's we want to put them in very last So that they don't just get mushed and the color could run all the way through the dish and kind of Look to red really honestly But just bring it to where it's well incorporated and you're good see that Let's see the color there looks great. So do a little taste see if it needs anything Could need a little salt little pepper. I think the black pepper is one of the key ingredients It's one of those times that really use a lot if you like black pepper of course And then you're gonna want to let this set up in the refrigerator for 24 hours or overnight The flavors are so much different the next day and then the day after and the day after so it's really Amazing to kind of have your Pimento cheese sit in the fridge only getting better for you.
