Pimento Cheese Sandwich
We’re making the famous Pimento Cheese Sandwich, which only means one things – It’s Masters Season! I love golf and sports in general, but there is something extra special about the Masters. I love the pomp and pageantry of it all. The start of the Masters really symbolises the start of spring, and frankly I am here for it!!
The food of Augusta National.
Things don’t change at Augusta and that extends to the menu as well as the prices.
There are a few famous snacks that can be found at the course snack stands; their famous egg salad sandwiches, Georgia Peach Ice cream sandwiches, and the Pimento Cheese Sandwich. I have always been so interested in the Pimento Cheese Sandwich, and after today I can personally confirm is is super delicious!

Whipping up this sandwich is really easy. Essentially you toss all the ingredients into a bowl and mix together using a handheld mixer. Nothing complicated here!
If you wanted to add some herbs like green onion, chives or parleys, it’s not traditional, but a little green never hurt!
What are pimento peppers?
Pimento peppers are small red peppers that have a sweet taste. Similar to a red peppers they are not spicy. The pimentos used in this recipe would be found in a small jar that you can find at any grocery store beside the pickles and oils. If you are unable to find any, simply substitute with bottled roasted red peppers.
