Notes

  • If you like your filling a little thicker, you can use less mayonnaise.
  • I recommend grating your own cheese rather than buying bagged cheese. You can grate the cheese much finer, and it will produce a creamier filling. 
  • If you’re pressed for time, you can use store-bought pimento cheese. Use about 1 cup and stir it into the bowl with the egg yolks and 3 or 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
  • Save a few pimentos to top the eggs before serving.
  • Consider adding chopped jalapeños to the filling if you're a fan of spicy food.
  • Enjoy leftover pimento cheese spread on crackers or in sandwiches.
Storage: Store pimento cheese deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
