Over the Heel Grilled Cheese Do you ever avoid eating the end pieces of bread? Well, I have a delicious recipe that actually uses those heel pieces! These grilled cheese sandwiches are just as tasty as using regular slices of bread. Ingredients: 4 heel pieces of bread 4 slices of your favorite cheese Softened butter Instructions: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each inner heel piece of bread, focusing on the side that is not the crusty end. Next, place two slices of cheese on the unbuttered crusty side of one heel piece of bread. Top with the other heel piece of bread, buttered side facing up. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook them until they are golden brown on each side and the cheese is melted. To enhance ease of handling, I prefer to cut grilled cheese sandwiches diagonally once they have finished cooking. This method not only makes the sandwiches more visually appealing but also allows for a more enjoyable eating experience. Enjoy your deli...

Pimiento (pimento) cheese sandwich spread Today, I thought I would bring back a vintage southern pimiento cheese recipe that my mom and grandma used to make when I was growing up. Pimiento cheese can be served on crackers, sandwiches, and on celery sticks, etc.. It's still one of my favorite go-to-sandwich spreads. What is a pimiento or pimento? A pimiento or pimento is the same word for sweet red pepper. They're just spelled differently. The peppers are often pickled and packaged in small jars. The pickled pimiento peppers are also stuffed inside store-bought green olives and used to create the well-loved spice "paprika." Some pimiento cheese recipes are made with shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese. However, my family has always used Velveeta cheese in our family recipe. Since Velveeta cheese is already creamy, there's no need to add cream cheese. You can also use Velveeta shreds if you prefer that over the block cheese. If pimiento peppers are hard for you...
