Directions

In a medium bowl, add the Cheddar, mozzarella, yogurt, chives, salt and pepper, green and red peppers and jalapeno. Stir well to combine. Spread the mixture evenly among 4 slices of bread and top with a couple of slices of tomato. Top with the remaining slices of bread.

Spray a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat with nonstick spray. Place the 4 sandwiches in the pan and let cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and continue cooking until the cheese melts, another 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

    OMG! I made the pimento cheese part of the recipe and then used it as a stuffing for the fresh squash blossoms I just harvested off this years squash plants. I'll be making this again to try as a dip with celery or crackers.

    I used Cabot's Reduced Fat cheddar(70 cal=1 oz and Nature's Own Honey Wheat (40 cal= 1 slice and it reduced the calorie count to 192 calories per sandwich. It's SO tasty! I separate the mixture into 4 small containers to help with the portions. I've even had it as a snack with pretzels.

    It is ok, but don't think I would ever make it again.
