Step-by-Step Instructions for Pimento Cheese Sandwich

In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and pimentos. Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Lay the slices of soft white bread flat. Optionally, lightly toast the bread slices for a couple of minutes.
Spread 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the pimento cheese mixture on one slice of bread. Repeat for each remaining slice.
Top each cheese-covered slice with a second slice of bread and press down gently to hold the sandwich together.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally or into quarters, and serve with pickles or potato chips.
