Ingredients

Scale

Spread Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cheese spread (room temperature)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature, cubed)
  • 1 jar (4 ounces) pimentos (reserve some liquid)
  • 2 pinches garlic powder
  • 1 pinch smoked paprika
  • 1 can (12 ounces) canned ham (cubed)

Bread

  • 3 loaves white sandwich bread

Instructions

  1. Process ingredients: In a food processor, combine the cheese spread, cream cheese, pimentos (reserving some of the liquid), garlic powder, smoked paprika, and canned ham. Process until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  2. Adjust consistency: If the mixture is too thick, gradually add a small amount of the reserved pimento brine to achieve a spreadable consistency that is easy to spread on bread.
  3. Assemble sandwiches: Spread about 2 tablespoons of the prepared mixture evenly onto one slice of white sandwich bread. Top it with another slice to form a sandwich.
  4. Trim crusts: Using a serrated knife, carefully trim off the crusts from each sandwich. Cut the sandwiches diagonally into triangles, cleaning the knife between cuts to maintain clean edges.

Notes

  • Ensure all cheese ingredients are at room temperature for easier blending.
  • Reserve some pimento liquid to adjust the spread consistency smoothly.
  • Use a serrated knife for cleaner crust trimming and sandwich cutting.
  • Can be refrigerated and served chilled for enhanced flavor.
  • Perfect for picnics, snacks, or casual lunches.
