Instructions

Notes
- Pimentos: These are easy to find at the grocery store, typically in glass jars, stocked with the olives and pickles. You will need one 4-ounce jar for this recipe. Pick up a jar of chopped pimentos, otherwise, if they come in slices, just chop them yourself into a ¼-inch dice.
- Storage: The shelf life of your Pimento Cheese will depend on the freshness of your sour cream/Greek yogurt. If they are fresh, then your Pimento Cheese should last for up to 7-10 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften before serving, or microwave for 20 seconds.
