However you spell it, this Paula Deen dish is most unusual! No, her recipe didn't use the low fat ingredients. ;-) But weighing in at 29g fat/serving, the original almost made my heart stop just by reading the recipe.

Yield Makes 12 pimento cheese sandwiches; serves 6 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 27

Ingredients

Cream of Tomato Dip
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1 large shallot, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 can (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice, chopped (retain juice)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon fresh
2 tablespoons white rice flour
1 cup plain soymilk
1/4 cup soymilk creamer
1 teaspoon sugar, optional
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pimento Cheese Bites
1 cup grated soy or dairy cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons vegan or light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/4 cup diced pimentos, drained
1 tablespoon chopped green olives
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
6 slices spelt, whole-wheat, or sliced sourdough bread
Canola cooking spray, olive oil, or 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

To make the dip, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a 4-quart soup pot. Add the onions and shallots, and sauté until softened and clear, about 8 minutes. Add the salt, tomatoes, tomato juice, tomato paste, broth, bay leaf, basil, and thyme. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes.
Mix the rice flour with the soymilk and the soy creamer. Whisk into the tomato mixture and simmer 5 minutes more. Remove the bay leaf.
Puree the dip in 2 batches in a blender until smooth and creamy. At this point, taste the soup. If you think it needs to be sweeter, add the sugar, then season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
To make the Pimento Cheese Bites, mix the cheese, mayonnaise, green onion, pimento, olives, salt, pepper, and red pepper sauce in a small bowl. Divide equally among 3 slices of the bread and top with the remaining bread slices. Heat a 10- or 12-inch non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Spray with the cooking spray. If you're not watching your fat grams, add a tablespoon of the nonhydrogenated soy spread to the pan. Cook the sandwiches on each side until browned and cheese has melted. Add more spray or soy spread as you go along. Cut into quarters and serve with the dip.

Tips:

For a smoother pimento cheese spread, use a food processor or blender to combine the ingredients.
If the pimento cheese spread is too thick, add a little milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
If you don't have pimentos, you can substitute diced roasted red peppers.
For a spicier pimento cheese spread, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
To make the cream of tomato dip ahead of time, simply refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it over low heat until warmed through.
Garnish the pimento cheese bites with chopped chives or parsley before serving.

Conclusion:

Pimento cheese bites with cream of tomato dip are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The pimento cheese spread is creamy and flavorful, while the cream of tomato dip is tangy and savory. These bites are sure to be a hit with your guests!
