A Southern twist on the classic grilled cheese. Making your own pimiento cheese is easy and can be done ahead.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 c. low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 roasted red bell pepper
  • 3/4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 tsp. sriracha chili sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
  • .13 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 8 slice good white bread (like Pullman)
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except bread and butter until well combined. Refrigerate 2 hours to let flavors meld. (Makes about 2 cups. Pimiento cheese can be stored in refrigerator up to one week.) Bring to room temperature before using.
  2. Spread 1/4 cup of the pimiento cheese on each of 4 slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of the butter on 1 side of each sandwich.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place 2 sandwiches, butter side down, in skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. While first side is cooking, spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of the butter on other side of each sandwich. Turn sandwiches and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until second side is crispy and golden brown and cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches.
