00:00Pimento Cheese Bites
00:01These little golden cups of southern comfort are about to become your secret weapon for every gathering,
00:08turning you into the host everyone remembers.
00:11For the base, use two packages of phyllo cups with 15 pieces in each pack.
00:15The frozen variety works perfectly.
00:18Prepare the baking sheet by lightly coating it with non-stick cooking spray.
00:22For the filling, use one cup of pimento cheese, either homemade or a high-quality store-bought version.
00:28Add one-third cup of red pepper jelly, preferably with visible pepper pieces,
00:33and include one-quarter cup of chopped pecans if desired, as they add a lovely texture.
00:38Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the rack in the center.
00:43Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
00:46Arrange the phyllo cups in a single layer on the prepared sheet,
00:49leaving space between each cup to ensure even browning.
00:53Spoon about one tablespoon of pimento cheese into each cup,
00:56filling them three-quarters full to allow room for expansion.
01:00Add a teaspoon of red pepper jelly on top of the cheese.
01:04If using pecans, gently press a few pieces into the jelly.
01:07Bake for eight to ten minutes until golden and bubbly.
01:11Let cool briefly before serving so the filling sets while staying warm.
01:15Assemble four hours ahead and refrigerate.
01:17Bake before serving.
01:18Refrigerate leftovers for two days.
01:21Reheat briefly.
01:22Do not freeze, as phyllo turns soggy.
01:25The recipe doubles or triples easily using extra baking sheets, rotating halfway through.
01:30For parties, try a topping station for customization.
01:33These golden bites show that simple, quality ingredients make memorable appetizers,
01:38perfect for any gathering and guaranteed to win compliments with minimal effort.
