Pimiento cheese is a Southern tradition. We add a little Parmesan to the standard cheddar-mayo mixture for extra savory depth.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons bottled diced pimientos, drained

1 tablespoon grated peeled shallots

2 tablespoons canola mayonnaise

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 ounces shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)

1.25 ounces grated fresh parmesan cheese (about 1/3 cup)

4 (1-ounce) slices sourdough bread, toasted

12 tomato slices

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

4 center-cut bacon slices, cooked and halved

1 cup baby arugula leaves

Directions:

1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Spread 3 tablespoons cheese mixture on each bread slice; top each with 3 tomato slices. Sprinkle tomato slices evenly with salt. Top each sandwich with 2 bacon halves and 1/4 cup arugula.
