Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Spread an even layer of the pimiento cheese mixture onto one side of two slices of sourdough bread.
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.
Spread softened butter on the outer sides of both sandwiches, covering the surface evenly to ensure a golden and crispy finish.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches butter-side-down onto the skillet.
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.
Once both sides are golden brown and the pimiento cheese filling is melted and gooey, remove the sandwiches from the heat.
Let the sandwiches cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Pimiento Cheese Sandwich!
