Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread pimento cheese on 6 of the slices of sourdough. Top the cheese for each sandwich with 2 slices of bacon, 1 slice of tomato, then a second slice of bread. Toast each sandwich in a large skillet over low heat till golden brown on both sides, flipping as needed.
Transfer sandwiches to a baking sheet in the oven to finish warming through and melt the cheese. Serve hot.
