Place a medium bowl on the counter. Add 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) and 1/2 cup mayonnaise to the bowl.
Add 1 cup sharp cheddar (shredded) and 1 cup Monterey Jack (shredded) to the bowl.
Add 1/4 cup pimentos (drained and chopped), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
Stir or beat the mixture with a spoon or spatula until the cheeses and cream cheese are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Season the pimento cheese with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing briefly to distribute the seasoning.
Lay out the 8 slices white bread. Spread a generous amount of the pimento cheese mixture evenly onto 4 slices of bread.
