Delightfully gooey and rich grilled pimento cheese sandwiches. To prevent soggy sandwiches, the bread is toasted in butter on all sides before adding the pimento cheese.

Recipe Type: Sandwich
Makes: 4 servings
Author: Elizabeth Stark
Ingredients
  • 1 cup homemade pimento cheese spread
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , divided
  • ½ cup bread butter pickles (I used spicy ones)
  • sliced heirloom tomatoes (optional)
Instructions

  1. Make pimento cheese and chill for 1 hour.

  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium/medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 4 slices bread. Toast 1 minute on each side. Remove toasted bread from skillet.
  4. Add another tablespoon butter to the skillet, another 4 slices bread, and toast 1 minute.
  5. Flip bread, add another tablespoon butter, spread 1/4 cup pimento cheese on each slice, add a layer of pickles and tomato, and top with a toasted slice of bread. Cook 2 minutes. Add remaining tablespoon butter, flip the sandwiches, and cook another 2 minutes or until underside of bread is golden and pimento cheese starts to ooze out.
  6. Remove grilled pimento cheese sandwiches to a cutting board; cool 4 minutes. Working swiftly with a very sharp knife, slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
