SMOKED PIMIENTO CHEESE CROSTINI

Smoked Pimiento Cheese Crostini image

Pimiento cheese has long been a favorite in our family, so these bite-sized appetizers are a treat! I add Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce to give them a little kick. Caramelized onions create another layer of flavor. You can make the cheese and onions three to five days in advance; they store well. If you need to save time, you can use premade jalapeno pimiento cheese. -Caitlyn Bunch, Trenton, Georgia
