Village Tavern is known for fresh, scratch-made food. You can re-create their Pimento Cheese at home thanks to this recipe which comes from their kitchen.

If you read the blog, you know that I recently went to Village Tavern and was able to make Pimento Cheese at the restaurant alongside Corporate Executive Chef Mary Grace Viado Howard. At the end of the evening, Chef Mary Grace gave me a box of goodies and in it were ingredients for Village Tavern’s Pimento Cheese so that I could recreate the dish at home.

As you can see above, Village Tavern uses quality ingredients. That’s Kerrygold Dubliner 100% Natural Cheese. It forms the base of the Pimento Cheese.

This recipe only has three ingredients and is soooooo easy to make. You start by grating the cheese.

You then place the grated cheese in a large bowl with pimentos and mayonnaise. Blend the three ingredients together well and then it’s ready.

Village Tavern used to serve an amazing hot pimento cheese dip. Did they just heat this same pimento cheese?

  That’s a good question. I’ll see if I can find the answer for you.

    It’s been confirmed. It is the same Pimiento Cheese recipe in their Dip Duo (Cold) that is in their Pimiento Cheese Fondue. To make the fondue:
    
    1. Pre-heat Oven to Broil.
    
    2. Place portioned pimiento cheese dip in a ceramic bowl, microwave for 45 seconds to warm, STIR WITH A SPOON and place in the oven until top is lightly browned.
    
    3. Using hot pads, transfer hot dip on plate over a beverage napkin at the center of the bowl. Arrange freshly fried warm corn chips around the bowl.
    
    4. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley (if desired) around presentation.
