Crispy Pimento Cheese Cups is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We group together on Sundays to post jointly on a variety of recipe topics. New Year’s Eve is fast approaching so that is on our radar this week.

Crispy Pimento Cheese Cups fill pre-baked frozen phyllo pastry shells with a made from scratch pimento cheese spread which whips up in a few minutes. Just use the food processor to shred and blend. Then chill it to firm up.
These are quite popular in my house and disappeared in record time. Everyone loved the crunch and the flavor of the cheese is fantastic without being spicy.
I did heat the shells in the oven for just a couple minutes to get the maximum crispiness. But it is quite easy to make the cheese ahead. So you can have these on the party appie table in no time.
