HOMEMADE PIMENTO CHEESE TOAST
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup Duke’s Mayonnaise (you can
add more for a creamier texture)

¼ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon grated onion
3 dashes of Texas Pete hot sauce,
or more to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Sliced French bread
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large bowl or food processor (for a
smooth texture) combine shredded cheese
and mayonnaise until well blended and
creamy. Add spices and mix well. Mix
in hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
Spread on sliced French bread.
Bake for 3 to 4 minutes then broil for
2 minutes. Watch closely as they can
burn easily. Garnish with Italian parsley or any herb on hand.
