the best ever! family was skeptical at first but they ended up loving it! used mayo to "butter" up the bread & it complemented the pimento flavor very well. Also these grilled pimento cheese sandwiches are phenomenal in pinera bread brocolli & cheese soup! (;

Yum! This brought back so many great memories for me. Many (many, lol) years ago I worked in the OR in a hospital. A co-worker of mine introduced me to these in the cafeteria one day. I fell in love with them. I haven't had one for years, but this was so comforting in more than one way. I also served this with a homemade tomato bisque and had a wonderful meal. Thanks Chef shapeweaver for sharing this great recipe and the wonderful memories.

mmm, just made this. i just purchased a homemade pimento cheese from my local gourmet market's deli .. and wanted to do SOMETHING a little different than just slab it on plain white bread. THIS WAS DIVINE! i have seen it, on so many menus in town .. and decided it was time to make my own. so, so good. next time, i may add a splash of hot sauce. thank you!

Wow this is good! I was in the same boat as you... wanted a grilled cheese but had no cheese... didn't want to go to the store... so I looked for something using the little bit of pimento cheese I had up. THIS is how I will have grilled cheese from now on! Made pimento cheese even better! Thanks so much for sharing -- it's a keeper!
