Spread the mixture on the bread. Slice off outer crusts and discard. Cut the sandwich into two equal triangles and serve. Pimiento Cheese Sandwich: 4 oz. Velveeta cheese, at room temperature 1/4 cup chopped canned pimiento (I used the kind in a small jar.) 1/2 cup sandwich spread 2 slices dark rye bread Mix all ingredients, except bread. Spread the mixture on the bread. Slice off outer crusts and discard. Slice down the middle, forming two equal rectangles and serve. Tuna melt sandwich: Tuna salad mixture pimiento salad mixture 4 thin slices of tomato 2 slices of hearty white bread butter or margarine, at room temperature Take one slice of hearty white bread and spread one side with the tuna salad mixture described above. Take a second slice of hearty white bread and spread on side with the pimiento cheese mixture described above. No, place 2 thin slices of tomato on top of the bread with tuna salad and 2 thin slices of tomato on top of the bread with pimiento cheese. Fold the two halves of the sandwich together with the tomato slices meeting. Spread the top side of the sandwich with butter (at room temperature). Place in a skillet (buttered side down) over low heat and then spread the other side of the sandwich with softened butter. When the bottom side is brown (not burned), carefully turn the sandwich over and brown the other side. The sandwich is done when it is hot all the way through, the cheese is beginning to run, and both sides are crusty and brown. Remove to a cutting surface and cut slightly on a diagonal. Move to a serving plate and serve while hot. You may eat this sandwich holding it in your hands, or you may prefer to eat it with a fork. Tuna melt is a fun sandwich to make and eat. It turns out looking great, and the taste just can't be beat! PLUS, you get two bonus sandwiches--tuna salad AND pimiento cheese!!!
