Southern Pimento Cheese Tea Sandwiches Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly shredded reduced fat sharp and extra sharp cheddar cheeses.
Add the well-drained diced pimentos and stir to distribute evenly.
Stir in the light mayonnaise and light cream cheese if using until fully combined.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper and mix thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive and creamy.
Add 1 teaspoon of pimento jar juice or skim milk if needed to loosen the texture, stirring after each addition until spreadable but thick.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm.
Lay out 16 slices of bread and lightly spread each slice with a very thin layer of light butter if using.
Spread an even layer of pimento cheese over 8 slices, extending to the edges.
Top with the remaining 8 slices and press gently to adhere.
Trim crusts using a long serrated knife.
Cut each sandwich diagonally into 4 equal triangles to yield 32 small tea sandwiches.
Refrigerate until ready to serve and keep chilled until presentation.
