- 4 cups cheddar coarsely grated
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup finely diced red pimento peppers rinse and pat dry first
- ½ teaspoon salt
Preheat broiler with the rack about 6 inches away.
Stir together all ingredients. You can use a food process first to shred the cheddar, then chop the pimentos, then mix everything. Be sure not to overmix; there should still be some texture to the spread.
Slice baguette crosswise 1/2 inch thick and spread with cheese mixture. Sprinkle with the additional cheese. Broil on low untl heat until cheese is browned, about 2-3 minutes.
