Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches with Pimento Cheese Recipe

Abby Allen-Leach
Not only is this pimento cheese delicious on this sandwich, but it also makes for an ideal snack on its own. It's super simple to make - perhaps the only difficult part is resisting the urge to dive into the mixture while it's chilling.
