What does a pimiento cheese sandwich taste like?
You may be familiar with the iteration of this dish that uses a store-bought spread. You can expect a similar set of flavors to our recipe, but of course, with a richer taste. That’s because we don’t use any kind of cheese for it. You get the ideal amount of soft creaminess from softened cream cheese. And the unique salty taste of queso de bola definitely enhances the flavor of this dish.
If you are not a fan of food with a lot of heat, there is no reason to worry either. Pimento peppers are known as one of the least hot types of pepper. They offer the slightest kick, along with a little sweetness. And to finish it all, we have a little meat in the ham so that the dish can be more filling and satisfying.
