Ingredients
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.33 cup Diced pimientos, drained
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 slices Sourdough or white sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, diced pimientos, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 2
Spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the pimiento cheese mixture evenly onto one side of 4 slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Step 3
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on the outside of each sandwich. Be sure to coat both the top and bottom slices of bread for optimal browning.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden-brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 5
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
