Roasted Jalapeno Pimiento Cheese Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Roast bell pepper and jalapeno over a gas flame, turning often, until skin is blistered and charred all over, 5-10 minutes. (Alternatively, broil on a rimmed baking sheet.) Transfer to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let steam 10 minutes.
• Peel and seed peppers, then finely chop. Mix mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and paprika in a medium bowl. Fold in cheddar and chopped peppers; season with salt and black pepper. Spread on ciabatta and slice crosswise into pieces. Serve with pickles.
• Do Ahead
• Pimiento cheese can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the jalapenos on a sheet pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast in until the skins look like they are blistered, about 15 to 20 minutes. Put the jalapenos in a mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let them cool. When the jalapenos are cool, remove the skin and seeds. Put them into a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the cream cheese, honey, hot sauce and spinach and puree until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and add the cheese. Stir in the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Split the jalapenos lengthwise from the stem to tip, then cut crosswise making a shallow "T" at the top (the stem end). Fold the peppers open and remove the veins and seeds with a paring knife.
• Put the pimento cheese into a pastry bag or a heavy-duty plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Fill each jalapeno with 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons pimento cheese, and press closed. In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the Italian seasoning. Dip the poppers first in the eggs and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat, dipping first in egg and again breadcrumbs, for double dredge. Set the breaded poppers on a drying rack.
• Fill a large cast-iron skillet with 1 inch of oil; heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 325 degrees F. In two batches, add the poppers and cook until golden brown, flipping halfway through, 5 to 6 minutes total. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and season with salt.
• Serve immediately, but be careful not to burn your tongue!
• Mix the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in the Cheddar, garlic powder and roasted red peppers. Add salt and pepper to taste, but do go heavy on the salt; start with 1/4 teaspoon and go from there--this is where all seasoning is coming from for the whole dish!!
