Cheese and bacon. Enough said.
Ingredients
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1 thin baguette French bread
  • 1 11-ounce container Mrs. Grissom's Pimento Cheese Spread
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Put the bacon slices on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the bacon is brown and crispy. Remove and let cool. Crumble.
  3. Slice the bread into ¼-inch rounds. Place the slices on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in that same 400-degree oven until bread begins to brown, about 7 minutes.
  4. Remove and let cool.
  5. Move an oven rack near the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.
  6. Place the bread slices on another foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet and spread each slice with pimento cheese. Top with crumbled bacon.
  7. Broil until the cheese melts and begins to brown, about 4 minutes.
Notes
It's important to use a pimento cheese that will melt quickly and the kind made with processed cheese food works best. My colleague, Betsy, made the pimento cheese for these snacks from her grandmother's recipe and it's very smooth and melty. But she's not coming to your house to do the same, so Mrs. Grissom's is a good substitute.
