Homemade Lower Fat Pimento Cheese and Summer Tomatoes with Truffle OilSandwich

If you are as obsessed with truffle oil as I am then you will love this quick sammy! It's a lot like my avocado tomato truffle oil sandwich but cheesier ;)


Homemade Lower Fat Pimento Cheese
(Makes a lot but good to have on hand in the summer for guest that might just pop in)

Ingredients: 
12 oz - shredded sharp cheddar 
6oz - shredded mozzarella 
6oz - 50% low-fat Pepper Jack cheese (Cabot is what I used). 
2tbs Reduced Fat Vegenaise or low-fat mayo (add more if you like yours a little creamier but be careful it will add more fat)
1 jar of diced Pimentos, drained
2 tsps - Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste 

Mix all ingredients together and yum! 

For the sandwich - toast your favorite bread (I prefer Ezekiel's sprouted grains) and slice your beautiful summer tomatoes. Sprinkle a small amount of salt, pepper and Truffle Oil (I use white truffle oil made with sunflower oil that I got from Publix and Winn Dixie- expensive but last forever) on tomatoes. Spread the Homemade Pimento cheese in toasted bread And add the Sliced tomatoes and Presto! Deliciousness!!
