Pimiento Cheese

This is an adopted recipe from the RecipeZaar account. Updated May 30, 2006. I have made some changes to the recipe. I added some flavour and subtracted some sugar. I like it this way.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1  egg, beaten
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1  tablespoon water
• 1⁄4 cup vinegar
• 2  cups cheddar cheese, grated
• 1⁄4 cup pimiento, diced
• 1  pinch cayenne
• 1  dash Worcestershire sauce
• 4  drops  hot sauce
• 1  pinch garlic

Directions

1. In small saucepan, beat egg and sugar until well blended.
2. Stir in vinegar and water.
3. Cook over low heat until thick. Stir with a wire whisk. Usually takes about 5 minutes. You'll know when it is ready as it will be frothy and a lemon yellow colour.
4. Set aside until cool.
5. In medium bowl, mix together cheese, pimientos and sauce.
6. Stir in cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and garlic. Adjust to taste.
7. Chill until ready to use.
