Smoky Pimiento Cheese Tea Sandwiches
Serves: 16
 
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup (3 ounces) shredded smoked white Cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup (3 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped toasted pecans
  • 3 tablespoons diced pimiento, drained
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise, divided
  • 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 slices hearty white bread
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together cheeses, pecans, pimiento, 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, mustard, and pepper until blended.
  2. Spread remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a thin layer onto bread slices. Spread a thick layer of pimiento cheese onto mayonnaise side of 4 bread slices. Cover with remaining bread slices, mayonnaise-side down, to make 4 sandwiches.
  3. Using a serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, trim and discard crusts from sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 4 rectangles. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate until needed, up to 1 hour.
