Pimiento Blts
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon (about 8 slices)
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar, grated (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons chopped roasted red pepper from a jar
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 24 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed, halved
- 3 plum tomatoes, sliced 1/4 " thick
- 3 cups mixed greens or trimmed arugula
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Bake bacon on 2 foil-lined rimmed baking sheets, rotating halfway through, until bacon is brown and crisp, 18-20 minutes; drain on paper towels.
- Meanwhile, mix cheese, mayonnaise, red pepper, and jalapenos in a medium bowl; season pimiento cheese with salt and pepper.
- Spread half of bread slices with pimiento cheese. Build sandwiches with bacon, tomatoes, mixed greens, and remaining bread slices.
- Do ahead: Pimiento cheese can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Sandwiches can be assembled 3 hours ahead; wrap tightly and chill.
