The Perfect Amuse Bouche: Simple Pimento Cheese Spread

July 31, 2016 by Valerie Lugonja Leave a Comment

Pimento Cheese Spread: The Perfect Bite for Cracker Spoons!

1 Pimento Cheese Spread

After making the cracker spoons, I knew I was going to use the Pimento Cheese Spread recipe from Southern Living Magazine simply because it looked colourful and I love pimento with cheese.

2 Pimento Cheese Spread

I love homemade crackers, cheese, pickles and peppers. Pimentos are pickled peppers, aren’t they? What’s not to like here? The Spoon Crackers were made and ready for Amy’s Baby Shower for Heidi Marie. I only needed 24 for that party, but I made lots to have them on hand for a multitude of other uses.

3 Pimento Cheese Spread

The chives did add a much needed kick to the gentle, tasty pimento cheese spread. If the party was a month earlier, chive flower petals would have been a gorgeous garnish. A month later, and any other herb flower would have added a tasty punch to the mix.

4 Pimento Cheese Spread

Last minute is not really my thing, any more. I try to plan all of my events with make ahead food. Of course, there are always last minute touches and garnishes. The cracker spoons required a last minute piping of the cheese spread onto each cracker to avoid a soggy bottom bite! I did enjoy the process as I planned for very few last minute moments like this. It was a beautiful Sunday morning. The birds were squawking in the poplar columnars as a little squirrel scampered atop the fence; the bees were sipping nectar from tomato flowers and humming in the warm morning sun. My little Prince William had just laid down for his morning nap after a lively play with Gramsy and Deda. All was well with the world. The shower would start at 1:30 and I was most definitely ready.

Oooo! I was happy with how pretty these little ditties looked. The flowers from the Scarlet Runner Beans on the side of our house added the perfect finishing touch to each plate. I prepared two.

I drained a jar of chopped pimentos I found at the Italian Center Shop. I had never purchased them before, but there they were!

Grating cheese in the Thermomix takes exactly 1 second. Sometimes, two.

Combing them together took 10 seconds. Then, into the piping bag, and voilà!
