Ingredients

8 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese
3/4 c. low-fat mayonnaise
1 roasted red bell pepper
3/4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
3/4 tsp. sriracha chili sauce
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
.13 tsp. cayenne pepper
8 slice good white bread (like Pullman)
4 tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except bread and butter until well combined. Refrigerate 2 hours to let flavors meld. (Makes about 2 cups. Pimiento cheese can be stored in refrigerator up to one week.) Bring to room temperature before using.
Spread 1/4 cup of the pimiento cheese on each of 4 slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of the butter on 1 side of each sandwich.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place 2 sandwiches, butter side down, in skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. While first side is cooking, spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of the butter on other side of each sandwich. Turn sandwiches and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until second side is crispy and golden brown and cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches.
