Masters Pimento Cheese Recipe (Chickpea Pimento Cheese Sandwiches)

Pimento cheese sandwiches are one of the most iconic foods at the Masters, and this is a simple take on a Masters pimento cheese recipe with a slightly lighter twist.

This version uses chickpeas to add texture and balance while still keeping that creamy, tangy flavor you expect from classic pimento cheese sandwiches.

What Makes This a Masters Pimento Cheese Recipe

A traditional Masters pimento cheese recipe is creamy, slightly tangy, and easy to spread. This version keeps that same flavor profile while adding mashed chickpeas, similar to a chickpea tuna salad, for a more substantial texture.

The combination of mayo, pimentos, and shredded cheese creates a spread that still feels very true to classic pimento cheese sandwiches while adding a bit more structure.

How to Serve Pimento Cheese Sandwiches

Pimento cheese sandwiches are typically served on soft white bread and cut into triangular sandwiches. They’re one of the most recognizable Masters recipes and are known for being easy and nostalgic.

For a Masters party, you can cut them into triangles or tea sandwiches and serve alongside other classic items like egg salad sandwiches.
