Pimento Cheese with Piquillo Pepper Sauce

I have an addiction to pimento cheese…part of it stems from the fact that I’ve always wanted to be a southerner and the other from the fact that I love mayonnaise and cheese.  Throw some mascarpone in this one and leave me in peace.  If a menu has pimento cheese on it, I’m all over it like…well, me on pimento cheese.  This is my favorite way to make it and it’s super simple, a little spicy and oh so cheesy.  For those that have never experienced this, it is not spicy unless you choose to make it so because pimento peppers are very mild (or you can substitute with roasted red peppers if you can’t find pimentos).  Add this to a grilled cheese, put on top of a burger, add to pasta for some delicious mac and cheese, stuff inside jalapeno peppers or throw it in some creamy grits (all of these are probable forthcoming recipes).
