PIMENTO CHEESE TOASTS
This pimento cheese is a little different in that it is made with roasted peppers and spread on tiny toasts, then broiled to transform it into hot melted heaven. A combination of sharp orange and white cheddar works well. You can make the cheese spread up to 3 days ahead and have it covered and chilled in the fridge until ready to use.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pears: Use ripe, firm pears that are not too soft. This will help them hold their shape when cooked.
- Use a good quality red wine: The red wine you use will contribute to the flavor of the dish, so choose a wine that you enjoy drinking. A dry red wine with a medium body, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, is a good option.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pears, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the pears until they are tender: Cook the pears until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Use a good quality blue cheese: The blue cheese you use will also contribute to the flavor of the dish, so choose a cheese that you enjoy. A strong, pungent blue cheese, such as a Roquefort or Gorgonzola, is a good option.
- Serve the toasts immediately: The toasts are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the pears are still warm and the blue cheese is melted.
Conclusion:
These red wine pear and blue cheese toasts are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes.
