Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Warm skillet to medium heat. Place one slice of bread butter side down, top with a scoop of pimento cheese, and then add a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Grill 2 - 2½ minutes until bread is slightly golden in color. Use a spatula to flip.
Grill other side 2 - 2½ minutes until golden brown.
Notes
