Pimento Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients:
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup diced pimentos, drained
• 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp paprika
• Salt, to taste
• 8 slices white or sandwich bread
• Lettuce leaves, optional
• Tomato slices, optional
Method:
1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, cream cheese, diced pimentos, mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt.
2. Stir until creamy and well combined. For a smoother texture, mix a little longer; for a chunkier spread, stir gently.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
4. Spread a generous layer of pimento cheese onto four slices of bread.
5. Add lettuce and tomato if desired, then top with the remaining bread slices.
6. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve chilled or at room temperature with pickles, potato chips, or a simple salad.
