Monterey Jack cheese and pickled peppers combine for a new twist on pimiento cheese sandwiches. While this version is mild, you can increase the amount of jalapeño or use Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers for spicier sandwiches.

This was a big hit with my boyfriend and is now a go-to. I used low-fat sour cream instead of mayo (cause we both hate mayo) and it's not a problem. The only bad thing is that the pickled jalepenos come in a relatively big can (for the amount you need for this recipe), but I've found uses for the leftovers (cornbread, quesedillas, omelettes).
