Pimento Cheese Spread with Original Sea Salt Edible Spoons

THE JOURNAL  /  SOUTHERN-INSPIRED SPREADS

Sharp cheddar and pimentos make a bright spread for a simple savory edible spoon.

By Double Dip Chips, LLC  |  6 min read

Pimento cheese is a familiar Southern spread built from cheddar, pimentos, and a creamy binder. For a party board, give it a shallow bowl and place Original Sea Salt Edible Spoons beside it. The recipe carries the Southern inspiration. The catalog does not identify a Southern-style spoon flavor, and the edible spoons contain wheat.

IN THIS GUIDE

Let cheddar provide the backbone

Grate sharp cheddar yourself if you want visible strands and a spread with character. Pre-shredded cheese can also work, though its texture may differ. Mix with finely chopped pimentos that have been drained well; extra jar liquid can thin the spread and collect at the bottom of the bowl.

Add mayonnaise or another familiar creamy binder a spoonful at a time. The spread should cling to the edible spoon, not flow like a dip. A little cream cheese can make it denser, but use enough cheddar that the cheese remains the central flavor.

Taste before adding salt. Cheddar and the Original Sea Salt spoon both contribute it. A pinch of cayenne or a few drops of hot sauce can add warmth, but make a mild base first if the guest list includes people who prefer less heat.

Keep the pimentos visible

Pimentos bring color as well as mild pepper flavor. Chop them small but not so fine that they disappear into the dressing. A bright red fleck against orange cheese makes the bowl easier to identify from across a buffet.

For a smoother spread, pulse a small portion of the mixture and fold it back into the rest. This creates cohesion without turning everything into a uniform puree. For a chunkier version, leave the grated cheese intact and give guests a slightly larger serving utensil.

The spread can be made ahead and refrigerated. Stir it before service and, if it is very firm, let it soften briefly under your usual safe food-handling plan. Dairy and egg may be present in the spread; the edible spoons contain wheat. Label the board accurately.

Choose one of three listed flavors

Original Sea Salt lets the cheddar and pimentos lead. Jalapeño Salt can turn a mild batch into a peppery bite. Nacho Cheese doubles down on the cheese theme and may suit a game-day tray.

Taste a little spread with each flavor before setting out the full board. A very sharp cheddar may be best with the simpler spoon; a mild cheddar might welcome the Jalapeño Salt. These are pairing ideas, not a claim that one option wins for every recipe.

Keep the spoons dry until guests scoop. The product pages do not provide a measured time for moist spread to sit on them or a verified strength rating. Offer modest portions and an ordinary spreader for anyone who wants to put cheese on a plate.

Build a generous but tidy board

Put pimento cheese in a low bowl, then arrange the edible spoons in separate labeled rows. Add celery sticks, sliced peppers, or cucumber for a cool contrast. Keep wet produce away from the dry spoon vessels.

For an appetizer table, consider two small bowls rather than one large one. Refill from a chilled container as needed. This keeps the spread attractive and makes it easier for guests to reach from either side of the table.

The listed spoons are pre-order products. Before planning a fixed-date party, read the shipping and pre-order policy. The pimento cheese itself can be prepared and taste-tested well before product delivery is confirmed.
