Ingredients
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Pimentos, drained and chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork or an electric mixer to blend them until smooth.
Step 2
Add mayonnaise to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
Step 3
Gently fold in the chopped pimentos.
Step 4
Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 6
Spread about 1/4 cup of the pimento cheese mixture onto one slice of bread, then top with another slice to form a sandwich.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining bread slices and cheese spread to make a total of four sandwiches.
Step 8
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich on both sides.
Step 9
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted.
Step 10
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half, and serve warm.
