Receta Better Than the Masters Grilled Pimento and Cheese
Last week the hubby and I had the privilege of attending the 77th Annual Augusta National Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. The most prestigious golf tournament in the world. And I was there. Oh I had a grand time too. Nope, I don’t golf, but the hubby does and he wanted me to go with him. So off we went.
There are many unwritten rules of the do’s and don’ts at this event. They pride themselves on the efficiency of how the tournament is run. It is, in fact, run with a pristine, somewhat archaic efficiency. There is an incredible swiftness in the way you can get in and out of the concession area. You can choose from a multitude of “sandwiches” and beverages and other miscellaneous food items all for about $1.50 a piece. Apparently their Pimento Cheese sandwiches are famous, or rather infamous. But between you and me, skip it. Try the egg salad sandwich instead. That’s what I did. I secretly heard the Pimento Cheese sandwich is rather, um, how can I put this in a nice way? Disgusting.
My tip to them would be to get out of the dark ages. Upgrade those sandwiches with something a bit healthier, or at least use a whole grain bread. Trust me, we won’t complain if the sandwich prices increase to $4.99.
Okay enough ranting on the food. When we returned, I promised myself I would create a better, healthier Pimento Cheese sandwich.
I think my Grilled Pimento and Cheese is creamy and delicious and I know that you will too.

Oh my goodness! It was so creamy and delicious. My faint memory or a pimento cheese block my mother bought when we were kids certainly didn’t leave a lasting impression, but I guarantee you this one will.
It definitely has the yum-o factor.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
