Pimento Cheese Sandwich

All I have to say about this Pimento Cheese Sandwich is OMG! It is so incredibly good and you can make it at home in 10 minutes … SO much better than store-bought and it kicks your classic grilled cheese sandwich up a notch.

Ingreadient

• 5 ounces cheddar cheese (white sharp (freshly grated, not the pre-grated stuff which contains an anti-caking agent))
• 4 ounces cream cheese (softened (I stick it in the microwave for a few seconds, after I take the metal foil off of course))
• 3 tablespoons pimentos, chopped with juice
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1 drop hot sauce (we used Tobasco)
• 12 pieces whole-wheat bread
• butter (for frying)

Step by step

1. Blend all ingredients (down to the hot sauce) together very well with a spoon or fork. Can be served cold or continue with directions below for a hot sandwich.
2. Melt 1 – 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauté pan set just slightly higher than medium heat, or use a griddle set at 375 degrees F.
3. Just after the butter has melted (and before it turns brown,) rub one side of each piece of bread in the melted butter for full coverage.
4. Remove the buttered bread from the pan and spread a layer of pimento cheese onto the side of the bread that doesn’t have the melted butter on it. Top that with another piece of prepared bread (non-melted butter side facing down) to make a sandwich.
5. Put sandwich back into the pan onto remaining melted butter and cook until golden brown on each side.
