Ingredients

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons diced pimentos, drained
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 slices white bread (or your choice)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spread the pimento cheese mixture evenly on two slices of bread.
Top with the remaining two slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Serve immediately, or for a crispier texture, grill the sandwiches in a buttered skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

Tips

For extra flavor, use a mix of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Store leftover pimento cheese in the refrigerator for up to a week.
This sandwich is also delicious when toasted or grilled.
