Ready to make some pimento cheese appetizers? The ingredients are very straightforward: all you need are two small zucchinis, diced in ¾ coin-shaped pieces, fifteen phyllo shell cups, some strawberry jam, Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar, Cabot Alpine Cheddar, a jar of diced pimentos, Hellmann’s mayonnaise, salt, pepper, mustard powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce and some Louisiana hot sauce. The directions below highlight everything you need to know about preparing these cups. However, some quick advice: when scooping out the zucchini cups, try to use a pairing knife or a spoon with a nice, sharp or serrated edge. Scoop the flesh out gently, and try not to pierce the bottom of the cup. Since you’ll be filling the cups with pimento cheese, you want to make sure that the bottoms are intact, or else they might leak out during the baking process.
