Monster Fingers And Pimento Cheese Paws Recipes

PIMENTO CHEESE PINWHEEL SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add your pimento cheese ingredients: shredded cheese, mayonnaise, cream cheese, pimentos, onion, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or a wooden spoon, beat until evenly combined. Taste and add more hot sauce, salt, and pepper as desired.
• Spread a thin layer of pimento cheese to the edges of each flour tortilla. Roll up each tortilla and wrap in plastic wrap or wax paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow filling to firm up.
• Using a serrated knife, gently slice into about 1 inch bites. Serve cold.

PIMIENTO CHEESE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Combine the Cheddar, pimientos, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cayenne, scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the ingredients together to make a cohesive spread.
• Lay the tortillas out on a work surface and evenly spread one-third of the cheese mixture on each, leaving a 1-inch border along the edge. Top each with 1 1/2 cups of the arugula. Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking the arugula in as you go. Lay the wraps on a platter seam-side down and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Transfer the wraps to a cutting board. Trim off the edges, then use a serrated knife to carefully cut them into 1-inch rounds. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

MONSTER FINGERS AND PIMENTO CHEESE PAWS

Steps:

• Place four 3/4 cup mounds of pimento cheese on a cutting board or serving platter. Stick five ladies' fingers or men's toes into each mound to create a paw. Top each paw with 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts. Serve with remaining fingers and toes.

HOT-CRAB AND PIMIENTO-CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mash cream cheese in a bowl until very soft. Add cheddar and 1/2 cup mayonnaise and stir to combine. Stir in crab, pimiento, scallions, lemon juice, salt, and hot sauce to taste. Spoon mixture into two 14-ounce baking dishes, dividing evenly.
• Stir together torn bread and remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Top spread with bread mixture, dividing evenly. Bake on a baking sheet until golden brown and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately with vegetables.
