Southern Pimento Cheese,Bacon & Tomato Crustini’s

Pimento Cheese CrustinisMy Hands Down Absolute Favorite Treat! DELICIOUS!

INGREDIENTS:

1     8 ounce block sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded  (cracker barrel brand recommended)

1    8 ounce block yellow sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (cracker barrel brand recommended)

7  ounces chopped pimentos, drained well

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellman’s is preferred)

2    French Baguettes, good variety for exceptional taste and texture ( I like Panera Breads or Atlanta Bread Company’s baguettes)

remember: bread is key here…… good bread stands apart from all others and the taste is unmistakeable!!!!

1 package bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 roma tomatoes, chopped (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS :

Heat oven to 400 Degrees

Mix both cheeses, mayo, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and pimentos in a mixer to thoroughly incorporate.

 Then put into container, sealed tightly and put into fridge for 2 hours at least, so all of the flavors can combine.

Once cheese has had a chance to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, Cut baguettes thinly and on a biased (angled).

Toast baguette slices on EACH side for 3 or 4 minutes, or until desired crunchiness.

Top each slice with Pimento Cheese mixture and sprinkle with bacon crumbles.

Put back into oven for 3 or 4 more minutes, and then top with diced tomatoes.

Serve and Enjoy!!!

 

 This is also great as a grilled cheese or on top of a burger as well! DELICIOUS!
