With Easter coming up, I wanted to share with you a recipe sure to be a favorite in Southern Hearts (if it isn’t already), Pimento Cheese Biscuits. If you’re anything like us, come Spring you’re ready for light flavors, pastel colors, and all of the other wonderful fresh flavors of the season. With Easter right around the corner, today’s recipe would make a perfect addition to your spring holiday brunch – with a delicious old South twist!
Let’s meet our star ingredient: Price’s Southern Style Pimento Cheese
Anyone who has been with me a while knows that I’m a fan of pimento cheese. I even have two recipes for it on my site, so when I had an opportunity to check out Price’s Southern Style Pimento Cheese, I jumped at it. Oh my, this cheese makes my taste buds happy. Price’s is made with real mayonnaise and real cheese – you can even see big chunks of cheese in it. It looks just like my homemade pimento cheese and tastes like my Grandmama made it.
So now we are going to gild the lily by making biscuits with Southern Style Pimento Cheese baked right into the dough for a distinctly Southern flavor that pairs perfectly with Easter ham.
To make this recipe, you’ll need: Baking Mix*, Milk, Garlic Powder, and Price’s Southern Style Pimento Cheese.
*I am using my Hearty Oat Baking Mix but you can just use Bisquick if you like.
Place all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
Using a spoon, stir together really well until full blended.
Dump dough out onto floured surface and sprinkle with more flour.
Knead this a few times by pressing into a ball and then flattening slightly and repeating.
Pat it out to about 1/2 inch thickness with your hands and then cut with a biscuit cutter.
See those little Pimentos peeking out of the dough? This biscuit dough makes my heart smile.
Place these on a greased baking pan and bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool a bit before removing from pan.
Serve on their own, topped with a spread of butter, filled with ham, or with even more Pimento Cheese!
You can find Price’s Southern Style Pimento Cheese at Publix right now and more grocery stores, soon! It’s the only Pimento Cheese I’ve found in stores that tastes like homemade – because it is made like homemade.

Hi Christy, I have tried these yummy little biscuits before but it has been awhile. Since I have a public grocery store right down the street from my house, I’ll just drop by there tomorrow and pick up some pimento cheese and make them myself. Thank You For All That You Do! Have a Great Day!
Can’t wait to try this! Price’s is the only store bought pimento cheese I will eat.
I can get a pimento cheese spread at the stores here in NY/upstate but they are loaded with sugar! I grew up in Texas with homemade pimento cheese that never had sugar added to it. I love pimento cheese but have NEVER made it. How much homemade would you use for this recipe? Time for this 60 yr old to learn to make it! i will look at your recipes as I know they will be wonderful!
Can’t wait to try Price’s. I’m hung up on Palmetto Cheese. Its only at Publix and (thankfully much cheaper) at Sams. Its addictive, especially with Fritos. I have probably a dozen pimento cheese recipes and love them all, but I’ve never been able to eat a bought one until I tried Palmetto.
Palmetto is also available at Walmart, Walmart Neighborhood Store, and Costco. It is the only brand that I will buy.
It is also available at Ingles and Bi-Lo in my area, upstate SC/foothills NC. It is also made with good ol’ Duke’s Mayo! I’ve been loving it ever since it began to be available for sale at Pauley’s Island, where my daughter lived.
Hello Christy–these looks yummy !!!! What , if anything preparation wise and /or baking time wise, would you do if you made these as drop biscuits ??? Hubby prefers drop biscuits like his Grannie made ………..thanks so much !!
Just dip a table spoon in cold water scoop out a tablespoon dough, drop on parchment lined naming sheet Bake as directed
