Ingredients

• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Jarred diced pimiento, drained
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 slices Sourdough bread slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, drained pimiento, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 2

Spread an even layer of the pimiento cheese mixture onto one side of two slices of sourdough bread.

Step 3

Place the remaining two slices of bread on top to create sandwiches, ensuring the cheese mixture is evenly spread and covers most of the sandwich.

Step 4

Spread softened butter on the outer sides of both sandwiches, covering the surface evenly to ensure a golden and crispy finish.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches butter-side-down onto the skillet.

Step 6

Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip the sandwiches carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Once both sides are golden brown and the pimiento cheese filling is melted and gooey, remove the sandwiches from the heat.

Step 8

Let the sandwiches cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Pimiento Cheese Sandwich!
