Filipino Cheese Pimiento With Fried Garlic

1. 1

   Freeze cheese for at least at least an hour, for easier shredding. Preheat oven to 375u00b0 F. Heat creamed honey in microwave 15-30 seconds, to soften.

2. 2

   Shred cheese into bowl. Add mayo, garlic powder, and warm creamed honey. Mix well, with cheese shreds remaining distinguishable. Adjust sweetness to taste.

3. 3

   Toast bread for 2 minutes.

4. 4

   You can buy prepared fried garlic in Asian markets, or make it yourself. Mince garlic and enough oil to cover it up (about 2 tbsp.), in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, up to 1 minute and a half. Let stand 1-2 minutes to continue cooking in hot oil until the color is golden brown. Drain with cheesecloth if available or simply use fork to press against sides of bowl and remove for further drying. Frying them on stovetop is an alternative; just watch carefully not to burn or overbrown.

5. 5

   Spread cheese pimiento on one side of bread. Sprinkle fried garlic on top. Add more for that garlic bread flavor. Save extra garlic in jar just like lola would do.
