Peppy Pimento Grilled Cheese image

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.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 oz freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz freshly shredded pepper jack cheese
4 oz pimentos
2 Tbsp chopped jalapenos
1/4 c crumble feta cheese
1/4 c cottage cheese
1/4 c mayonnaise
2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
2 pieces multigrain bread per person
olive oil or butter for both side of bread
2 Tbsp fire roasted salsa

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.
