Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices White sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 2 cups (shredded) Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.33 cup Diced pimento (drained)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, diced pimento, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. This is the pimento cheese spread.
2. Lay out 6 slices of the crustless white bread on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the prepared pimento cheese mixture across each slice.
3. Place thin slices of cucumber evenly over the cheese spread on each slice of bread.
4. Top each prepared slice with another piece of bread to form a sandwich.
5. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich into quarters or triangles. Alternatively, you can use a small round cutter for circular tea sandwiches.
