Pimento Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Pimento cheese is a delicious specialty from the south. Pimento peppers are a type of mild chili pepper. They are typically red and heart-shaped, but they're not spicy at all. Yes, you see them in spanish olives mostly.
Pimento cheese is a cheese spread that originated from the south and usually contains pimento, cheddar, mayo, and spices. Typically, I've seen cream cheese added into the mix, but I went a little differently because I'm a big fan of adjusting to ingredients you have or want to use. I used cottage cheese instead of cream cheese, and that adds another creamy cheese level.
I turned this Pimento cheese into a grilled cheese with the addition of mozzarella, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer! I am team Mayo instead of butter on the outside of my grilled sandwiches, and it resulted in this delicious super cheesy flavorful grilled cheese. Definently recommend! Full recipe over on my youtube. You can eat the Pimento cheese spread as is on crackers or with some veggies or heat it up and eat it as a hot dip too, super versatile. I made it on my homemade sourdough, of course, and I have a video for sourdough here on my channel!
