When I judged an Alabama Farmers Federation Heritage Cooking Contest, these Bacon Pimento Cheese Bites from Anne Lanier were the winning recipe. They’re the perfect bite of sweet and salty and are amazingly easy to prepare.
Ingredients
2 (1.9 ounce) (15-count) mini filo shells
1 (3.5 ounce) package chopped real bacon pieces
¾ cup prepared pimento cheese (I like Palmetto Cheese brand)
½ cup mild green pepper jelly, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill each mini fillo shell with 1 teaspoon pimento cheese. Drizzle with about ½ teaspoon of the melted pepper jelly. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the bacon crumbles over the top of each.
- Transfer to baking sheet and bake 5-8 minutes. Serve warm. Makes 30 appetizers.
