“So, I made appetizers for you and me. We’re not having dinner.” This was how I greeted my friend Amy the other day. I was right, we had apps and dessert. . .. and we were almost sick. The appetizers I made were these pimento cheese toasts from Gourmet magazine that I had at a brunch the other day. It’s worth skipping the meal so you can eat more than 3 of them. If you want your guests to actually eat dinner make sure that there’s only one or two per person. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
The mixture, I grated the cheese finely, because I can’t read directions
