GRILLED PIMENTO CHEESE SANDWICH

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 3h27m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cup shredded best-quality sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup real mayonnaise, plus more for grilling
1 (4-ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 slices brioche bread, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Pulse the cheese, mayo, pimentos and cayenne in the food processor until just combined. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
  • Spread some additional mayo on 1 side of each slice of toasted bread. Arrange 6 slices, mayo-side down, on a clean work surface. Place 2 heaping tablespoons pimento cheese evenly on the 6 slices of bread and top with the remaining 6 slices of bread, mayo-side facing up.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, cook 3 sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt, about 3 minutes. Turn the sandwiches over and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean and repeat with the remaining 3 sandwiches.
  • What To Toss In: If you like your pimento really spicy, you can always add some chipotle in adobe sauce to give it a smoky flavor. This can also be used as an entertaining dip. Just arrange some baby carrots and cut up some celery sticks around the cheese. People will flock to it.

  • Don't overload the sandwich. A grilled pimento cheese sandwich should be simple and easy to eat. Don't pile on too many toppings, or the sandwich will become soggy.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from melting too quickly.
  • Flip the sandwich halfway through cooking. This will help to ensure that both sides of the sandwich are cooked evenly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. Grilled pimento cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
