Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)
- 3–4 dill pickle slices
- Butter, for spreading on bread
- Prepare the sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice generously. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet or griddle.
- Add cheese and pickles: Layer the cheese slices evenly on top of the bread, then place the dill pickle slices over the cheese.
- Top and grill: Cover with the second slice of bread, buttered side up. Grill the sandwich over medium heat.
- Cook until crispy and melted: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve warm: Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and enjoy your dill pickle grilled cheese sandwich warm.
Notes
- You can use any cheese variety you prefer for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust the number of pickle slices to suit your taste for tanginess.
- For extra crispiness, cook on a lower heat for a longer time to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly without burning the bread.
- Try adding a spread of mustard for a more complex flavor.
