PIMIENTO CHEESE CANAPES



Pimiento Cheese Canapes image

From Cooking Light magazine. I used light cream cheese, but full fat everything else. Although the recipe stated that the pimientos should be undrained, I drained mine for a thicker consistency. I think the smoked paprika adds wonderful flavor to this.

THE LEE BROTHERS' PIMENTO CHEESE



The Lee Brothers' Pimento Cheese image

A decidedly Southern spread with Northern roots, pimento cheese is a simple mix of Cheddar, red bell pepper and mayonnaise that can be found on sandwiches from work sites to garden parties across the 16 states below the Mason-Dixon line. This recipe came to The Times from the Charleston, S.C.-bred cookbook authors and occasional contributors to The Times Matt Lee and Ted Lee.
