Allergens

Dairy, Gluten (from bacon), Sulfites (in store-bought pimento cheese)

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup pimento cheese (store bought or homemade)
• 1/4 cup Southern
• style barbecue sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 8 slices of thick
• cut bacon, halved lengthwise
• Toothpicks

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and pimento cheese. Mix well to create a uniform blend.
2. In another bowl, mix together barbecue sauce and honey.
3. Lay out the bacon slices on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto each strip of bacon. Roll up the bacon tightly around the cheese mixture to form a "bomb." Secure with a toothpick.
4. Dip each "bomb" into the barbecue sauce mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
5. Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium heat (about 350°F). Grill the bacon wrapped cheese bombs for about 2 minutes per side until crispy and slightly charred.
6. Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then skewer each "bomb" with a toothpick for easy eating.

Chef’s Insight

These bombs are best enjoyed immediately after grilling while the bacon is crisp and warm.

Notes

Ensure bacon is fully cooked to avoid undercooked meat.
