PIMENTO CHEESE IN ENDIVE CUPS

Steps:

• Set a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mini pepperoni to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered out and the edges begin to curl inwards, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside for assembly.
• In a food processor, combine the cheeses, pesto, crushed red pepper and salt and process until a thick paste is formed, about 30 seconds. Add the basil and pulse just until incorporated (be careful that the mixture is not overworked or it will turn green in color).
• Pour the cheese mixture into a bowl and fold in the pimentos. Scoop a heaping tablespoon into the center of each endive leaf (the larger leaves work best). Sprinkle the crispy pepperoni over the cheese mixture. Garnish each endive cup with a slice of black olive and piece of fresh parsley.

• For the patty melts: Preheat a grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack.
• Lay the bacon on a baking sheet and cook until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon fat.
• Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and divide into 4 equal balls. Shape the balls into flat 5-inch square patties and place on a platter or sheet pan. Make a dimple in the center of each so they cook evenly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the pimiento cheese: Pulse together the pepper jack cheese, pimientos, mayonnaise and jalapeños in a food processor. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature, or if making ahead, take out 30 minutes before using. The mixture should be easily spreadable.
• For the patty melts: Have a clean baking sheet or platter ready for all the finished grilled components. Pat the pineapple dry and add to the grill; cook until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the pineapple and add the patties. Cook until the patties are browned and have grill marks, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add the patties to the baking sheet.
• To assemble the sandwiches: Mix the butter with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat in a small bowl. Spread one side of all the bread with the butter. Spread 3 tablespoons of the pimiento cheese on the other side of the bread. Place the bread on the grill, butter-side down. Add 2 slices bacon directly to four of the bread slices on the pimiento cheese. Top with a patty and a slice of pineapple, then top with the other toasted slice of bread, butter-side up.
• Serve warm.
