How To Make Pimento Cheese Palmiers | Appetizer Recipe

Prepare the pimento cheese dip by combining sharp yellow cheddar, sharp white cheddar, cream cheese, smoked paprika, drained pimento peppers, salt, pepper, and white wine vinegar in a food processor.

Blend the mixture until smooth, ensuring there are no large chunks of cheese that could melt out during baking.

Spread the pimento cheese mixture evenly over the pie dough, reaching all edges to ensure every bite has filling.

Roll the pie dough from one end towards the center, flattening the first part before continuing to roll until reaching the middle.

Flip the rolled dough around and repeat the rolling process from the other end towards the center.

Chill the rolled dough in the fridge to make slicing easier.

Once chilled, slice the rolled dough into half-inch pieces.

Brush the slices with an egg wash mixed with a spoonful of Dijon mustard, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Optionally, freeze the sliced palmiers in a bag for later baking.

Bake the palmiers until golden brown.
