- Spread both sides of bread slices with butter. In a large skillet, toast bread on 1 side, over medium heat until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; place toasted-side up. Spread cheese over toasted bread slices. Top 2 slices with jelly, then with bacon. Top with remaining bread slices, cheese facing inward. Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes on each side. If desired, serve with additional jelly.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese is the classic choice for pimiento cheese, but you can also use a milder cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby. If you want a spread that is extra creamy, you can add a little cream cheese or sour cream.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your pimiento cheese will taste. Look for fresh bell peppers that are crisp and brightly colored. Use mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid using Miracle Whip.
- Don't overmix the pimiento cheese. Overmixing can make the spread too thick and pasty. Mix the ingredients just until they are well combined.
- Chill the pimiento cheese before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the spread easier to spread.
- Serve the pimiento cheese on a variety of foods. Pimiento cheese is delicious on sandwiches, crackers, celery sticks, and even burgers. You can also use it as a dip for vegetables or chips.
Conclusion:
Pimiento cheese is a delicious and versatile spread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it classic or spicy, mild or sharp, there is a pimiento cheese recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give pimiento cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
