Macon Pimento Cheese Spread

Macon, GA seems to be a culinary delight for pimento cheese. I found this recipe in The Taste of Tunnel Hill cookbook and did some research on-line. While I found various versions of pimento cheese recipes I did not find this one. It really intrigued me because of the chopped boiled eggs. Freshly ground pepper can be added if you desire but that wasn't included in the recipe.
