In a normal year, fans flock to Augusta National for golf, the greens and of course the concessions. For a tournament where the ticket prices can be through the roof, the concession prices are unusually low with drinks and sandwiches under $3 (including their famous pimento cheese sandwich). With no fans at this year’s tournament, here’s how you can make your own at home.

  • 3 cups shredded white cheddar cheese

  • 2 cups shredded yellow sharp cheddar cheese

  • 4 oz crumbled blue cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 1 (4-oz) jar sliced pimentos, drained

  • 1 cup light mayo

  • 2 tbs Dijon mustard

  • 1 loaf of white bread

1. Combine cheeses, pimentos, mayo and mustard in a food processor and process until smooth. Cover and chill.

2. Spread on bread slices. Makes four sandwiches.

(While it’s not tradition, you could also serve the pimento cheese as a dip with veggies and crackers. You do you).
