Description

There’s a certain reverence around a pimento cheese sandwich this time of year, and few reinterpret it with more intention than Brady Williams, chef and owner of Tomo. Known for his disciplined, ingredient-first approach, Brady brings a quiet precision to a Southern classic, refining rather than reinventing.

For RADMOR’s Citizens of the Game, this version honors tradition while elevating every detail, from the balance of cheeses to the subtle heat and texture. It is familiar, but sharper. Thoughtful, but never overworked. Because like the Masters itself, the best expressions are not about doing more, they are about doing it right.


Brady Williams’ Pimento Cheese Sandwich

For RADMOR Citizens of the Game

Ingredients

  • 8 oz diced pimento peppers
  • 4 oz diced piquillo peppers
  • 4 oz Mama Lil’s peppers
  • 1/2 cup Duke’s mayonnaise
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Tabasco
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cane sugar
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup bread and butter pickle brine
  • 1/2 lb grated Tillamook sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 lb Beecher’s Flagship cheddar
  • 12 slices shokupan (Japanese milk bread)

 

 

Method

  1. Build the base
    In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, cream cheese, Tabasco, salt, sugar, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and fully integrated.
  2. Add acidity and depth
    Stir in the bread and butter pickle brine. This should brighten the mixture without thinning it too much.
  3. Fold in peppers
    Add diced pimentos, piquillos, and Mama Lil’s peppers. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Incorporate cheese
    Fold in both cheddars until fully combined. The texture should be creamy with some structure.
  5. Rest
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Assemble
    Generously spread the pimento cheese onto toasted slices of shokupan. Top with another slice and (optional) trim crusts for a clean finish.

Notes
Serve chilled or slightly cool. Clean edges matter. Balance matters more.
