Rich and creamy pimiento cheese is a southern favorite. It makes this grilled pimiento cheese sandwich shine, especially when sweet-hot pepper jelly is added. -Amy Freeze, Avon Park, Florida

GRILLED PIMENTO CHEESE SANDWICHES

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Time 30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded
8 ounces aged Gouda, shredded
1 roasted red pepper, diced (about 1/2 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices cracked wheat bread
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or softened unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the pimento cheese: Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the Cheddar and Gouda and mix to combine on low, about 1 minute. Stir in the roasted red peppers by hand. Taste and season with salt and pepper, but go heavy on the pepper; start with 1/2 teaspoon and go from there.
  • For the sandwiches: On low heat, warm a cast-iron skillet. Put a heaping 1/2 cup of the pimento cheese between 2 slices of bread. Don't spread the mixture all the way to the crust because it will soften and spread as it heats in the skillet. Repeat with the remaining bread and cheese.
  • Smear one side of each sandwich with mayonnaise, and place the sandwiches in the skillet mayonnaise-side down. Smear the top pieces of bread with mayonnaise. Cook until golden brown and the cheese has just started to melt, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, another 3 minutes. Slice into halves or quarters and serve immediately.
  • Reserve any remaining pimento cheese in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 3h27m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cup shredded best-quality sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup real mayonnaise, plus more for grilling
1 (4-ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 slices brioche bread, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Pulse the cheese, mayo, pimentos and cayenne in the food processor until just combined. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
  • Spread some additional mayo on 1 side of each slice of toasted bread. Arrange 6 slices, mayo-side down, on a clean work surface. Place 2 heaping tablespoons pimento cheese evenly on the 6 slices of bread and top with the remaining 6 slices of bread, mayo-side facing up.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, cook 3 sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt, about 3 minutes. Turn the sandwiches over and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean and repeat with the remaining 3 sandwiches.
  • What To Toss In: If you like your pimento really spicy, you can always add some chipotle in adobe sauce to give it a smoky flavor. This can also be used as an entertaining dip. Just arrange some baby carrots and cut up some celery sticks around the cheese. People will flock to it.
