I made the pimento cheese and served it with Sea Salt Bagel Bites instead of making a sandwich and took it to a pot luck event. I did omit the sage and substitued some chopped fresh parsley and a little fresh rosemary. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. Will definitely make again.

Made this as a tea sandwich on white bread. Everyone loved it. The flavor was a little rich for a tea party, but it’s still a do-over. I doubled the sage and it still wasn’t too strong. Love this!
