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.
PEPPY PIMENTO GRILLED CHEESE
This is a really snappy grilled cheese sandwich! I have long enjoyed grilled pimento cheese sandwiches at a local restaurant, but this one steps it up several notches. There is just enough heat in this to make you take notice but not enough to set you on fire. A great grilled sandwich.

Steps:
- 1. Shred your cheese Note: keep it cold, so work fast, so it won't gum up.
- 2. In a large bowl place all you ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- 3. Lightly oil or butter both sides of the bread to be grilled.
- 4. Grill one side of the bread until golden brown. Flip it over, and spread pimento mix on each of the browned side of the bread.
- 5. Place on grill or hot skillet, uncooked, oiled side down, until toasted to your desired doneness.
- 6. Place the two sides together, slice and serve with a fresh salad or a side of fruit. I love a light style pasta salad with this sandwich.
