Being a mom changed me significantly in so many ways and one of those is how I plan and prep my family’s lunches. See, I prepare 3 lunches and snacks daily for my kids ( elementary and high school) and hubby and it’s not easy. So, I always have some easy-to-make, sanity-saving items parked at the back of the fridge before Sunday ends.
This is one recipe that I try to make once in a while to give me a head start and my son likes it. He loves honey so I used it as a sweetener. This is how we want it…. cheesier, not too sweet and not too runny. But you can definitely adjust it to your liking.
Honey Cheese Pimiento
Cheese Pimiento is a very common and well-liked sandwich spread by both kids and adults. The addition of honey gave it a distinct pleasant taste and a tad healthier too!
Ingredients
- 200g Old Cheddar Cheese, grated*
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Roasted sweet red peppers, in a jar*** (drained, seeded and finely chopped)
- 3 Tbsps honey
- 2 Tbsps softened butter or Becel
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until fully combined.
- Transfer to a lidded food container and refrigerate until needed.
- Serve with sliced bread, toasted if preferred.
Notes
*add more cheese if you want it thicker and cheesier.
**adjust the amount of mayonnaise and/or honey, according to your preference.
***You can make the peppers from scratch. Just grill one red bell pepper until softened and all sides are charred. Place in a bowl, cover with cling wrap ( to trap the heat and moisture for easier peeling ) until cool, peel off the charred skin, drain with paper towels and chop finely.
