Upon a recent, very scientific Facebook Poll, I asked friends for the best kind of cheese to top a burger. Responses ranged from Munster (my favorite ever) to Smoked Gouda (great choice indeed) to Pimento Cheese. After my husband had his first "Masters" experience this year he also requested the wonderful, soft, spreadable cheese known very well in the South. My challenge was to create a grilled cheese on the grill using my BIC FlameDisk. I added some green scallions, parsley and spice to my cream cheese, mayo, sour cream mixture and realized it makes a great grilled cheese or a fancy appetizer. I give you jalapeño poppers and a Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwich that would make any Southerner swoon.
