Reviews
I made these for a Labor Day cookout and they were a hit! The entire tray was gone within minutes. The combination of cheeses paired with the saltiness of the bacon and pimientos was amazing. Plus the tartness of the caramelized onions was a bonus. I highly recommend making this the next time you have a crowd!
I really don't entertain much, so I have no reason to make 4 dozen crostini. But I thought the cheese spread recipe sounded intriguing and decided to make it and try it out as a grilled cheese sandwich filling. I used Hormel real bacon bits. It was really excellent, maybe a little spicier than we normally like, but my husband loved it.
Love this recipe
