Pimento Cheese Ingredients

Method

Pimento Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pimento Cheese

    In a medium bowl, combine the sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped pimentos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of the pimento cheese mixture on one side of two slices of sourdough bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread, pimento cheese side down.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the assembled sandwiches and grill until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.
