Title: Pimiento Cheese Sandwiches
Categories: Appetizer
Yield: 12 Servings
| 1 | lb | New York sharp cheese |
| 4 | oz | Jar pimientos |
| | | Cayenne pepper to taste |
| 1 | ts | Worcestershire sauce |
| 1 | ds | Hot pepper sauce |
| | | Coarse ground black pepper t |
| | | Mayonnaise |
| 24 | | Slices white or whole wheat |
Grate cheese on the small side of a hand grater in a large mixing bowl.
Drain the liquid from the pimientos and mash with a fork. Add pimientos to
the cheese in the bowl. Add cayenne, worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce
and black pepper to taste. Add enough Mayonnaise (about 3 T.) to reach the
desired consistency and mix thoroughly. Use your hands or a big, wide fork
to mix. The mixture will become firmer as it sets in the refrigerator.
(You can trim the edges of the bread at this point-I don't unless making
them for finger food.. Spread each slice of bread with mayonnaise on one
side. Put the cheese filling on 12 slices of bread, then put the other 12
mayonnaise coated bread slices on top. Slice the sandwiches diagonally or
into strips. Be sure to put lots of filling into the sandwiches.
