Pimento Cheese Toasts image

This pimento cheese is a little different in that it is made with roasted peppers and spread on tiny toasts, then broiled to transform it into hot melted heaven. A combination of sharp orange and white cheddar works well. You can make the cheese spread up to 3 days ahead and have it covered and chilled in the fridge until ready to use. From Gourmet January 2008.
