FOR THE SANDWICH:
- 4 slìces bread
- 4-6 slìces bacon
- 4-6 leaves romaìne lettuce or leaf lettuce
- 4-6 slìces rìpe tomato
- 1/4-1/2 cup pìmento cheese (see recìpe below)
- 2 TBSP qualìty mayo
JALAPEÑO PIMENTO CHEESE:
- 8 oz coarsely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/3-1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, pimento peppers, or mini peppers
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers (1/3-1/2 cup minced)
- 3 tsp diced pickled jalapeño peppers
- 1 tsp vinegar from the pickled jalapeño jar
- 1/4 cup quality mayo (extra if desired)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/8 tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS :
FOR THE PIMENTO CHEESE:
- In a medium-large bowl, combine cheddar cheese, diced peppers, pickled peppers, vinegar, mayo, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Control the heat by adding as much or as little jalapeño as you'd like. As written the spread is medium with a kiss of heat.
- Pimento cheese mixture can be prepped in advance and refrigerated for 2-4 days. The flavors amplify the next day - YUM! If serving right away, allow mixture to chill in the fridge while you cook your bacon.
FOR THE SANDWICH:
- First cook your bacon until golden and crispy. This can be done in the oven or in a skillet on the stove.
