OT- Simple Appetizer

Wolfpack

This is a super simple appetizer that my wife and I really love.

Wash and remove the stems from baby Bella’s (or your favorite mushroom cap), stuff with jalapeño pimento cheese (I typically use the Palmetto Cheese brand), top with bacon pieces and some of your favorite spicy rub (used DP swamp venom). Bake in the egg or the oven at 350-375 degrees for around 10-15 minutes. 

Forgot to take a pic until we were down to the last one- give them a try and hope you like them.

@Wolfpack looks great. Is that the same brand of pimento cheese that Costco carries? I’ll have to try these soon

Yes, we do buy ours at Costco but wasn’t sure if it was a regional thing. The Costco version is 2x the size for the price of the smaller one at Harris Teeter.

Mushroom caps are perfect vessels for a wide variety of goodness.  Yours look fantastic!

When I was a kid, we moved around a bit and never lived where pimento cheese was a thing. Eventually wound up in NC, but I didn't care for the stuff. Married someone who loved it, but then we moved to the frozen north where it was impossible to find. Bottom line, I haven't tasted the stuff in nearly 50 years! I've been fine with that.

Read this stuffed mushroom thread and it looked so good, I started poking around for pimento cheese ideas. Tastes change y'know. I came across this 2015 post by @shucker...

...where he posted THIS!!!

I know it's not low sodium... but there is NO WAY I'm not trying this!

Maybe I can buy pimento cheese here now, maybe not, but I found a couple of good looking recipes which are most likely better anyway. So either way, I'm good.

Buying some baby bellas too!

If you can find the brand that @wolfpack mentions (our Costco carries it), get it. It’s a very savory version of pimento cheese. 

I’ve had a lot of different versions before and found many of them to be quite sweet - too sweet for my tastes.

Thanks. But I live in Connecticut and am not optimistic. Products with the word "palmetto" in the name are hard to find up here. People who have any idea what a palmetto IS are harder to find up here!

That looks wonderful!
