RECIPE

PIMENTO CHEESE COMPOUND BUTTER

Pimento cheese, such as the offerings from OBFM vendor The Creative Wedge is always enjoyed simply as a spread on crackers or between two slices of bread for a sandwich. But we like to make a Pimento Cheese Compound Butter for extra richness. Craft with regular pimento cheese, or a sassy variety crafted with peppers for some added heat and unsalted butter. 

We like to put a medallion or two of our Pimento Cheese Compound Butter on top of a bowl of hot grits, a burger just off the grill, a thick cut steak, chicken, pork, or even a bowl of steamed vegetables. Cut off a few medallions, but between two slices of bread, and make an incredible grilled cheese sandwich. Here’s how I make it:

Combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened,  and 1/4 cup pimento cheese thoroughly in a medium bowl. Roll the mixture into a log with wax paper, with ends folded closed, and refrigerate at least 1 hour. 

To use, cut off medallions of the butter and add on top of food. Keep butter rolled in wax paper, with ends folded closed. It will keep refrigerated 3-4 days or you can freeze for up to a month.
