This pimento cheese is a little different in that it is made with roasted peppers and spread on tiny toasts, then broiled to transform it into hot melted heaven. A combination of sharp orange and white cheddar works well. You can make the cheese spread up to 3 days ahead and have it covered and chilled in the fridge until ready to use. From Gourmet January 2008. Ingredients:
10 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (4 cups) |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
3/4 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup finely diced bottled roasted red pepper (rinse and pat dry first) |
1 baguette |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Stir together all ingredients, except baguette, plus 1/8 teaspoon pepper and salt to taste.
3. Slice baguette crosswise 1/3 inch thick and spread bread thickly with cheese mixture. Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is bubbling and browned, about 2 minutes.
