Warm the leftover brisket in a sous-vide machine at 190°F for about an hour until soft.

Slice the warmed brisket into thick chunks, removing any large pieces of fat.

Slice the whole sandwich loaf into thick slices, about the thickness of an index finger.

In a cold pan, butter both sides of the sandwich bread using a spoon for even spreading.

Place one slice of bread buttered side down in the pan, then layer with American cheese, pimento cheese, and the chopped brisket.

Add barbecue sauce and jalapeños on top of the brisket, then spoon more pimento cheese on top.

Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up, and gently pat down the sandwich.

Cook the sandwich on low heat in the pan, flipping it a couple of times to ensure even cooking and melting of the cheese.

After about 5 minutes, check for melting and browning, then increase the heat slightly and cook until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden brown.

Slice the sandwich and serve immediately.
