Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread of choice (i.e whole wheat, sourdough, rye or white bread)
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese (or melting cheese of choice)
- 2 dill pickles, thinly sliced lengthwise (or dill pickle chips)
Instructions
- Lightly spread butter on one side of each piece of bread.
- Place a slice of cheese on one slice of bread and cover with a layer of sliced pickles.
- Place another slice of cheese on top of the pickles and cover with a slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Heat sauté pan over medium heat (or preheat your panini maker). Cook the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Once cooked, cut the sandwich on a diagonal to make triangles and serve hot.

Notes
- Don’t Rush: Cook your sandwich over medium heat to ensure the cheese melts fully without burning the bread.
- Choose the Right Cheese: A good melting cheese is key. Sharp cheddar is classic, but adding a slice of American cheese can give you that extra melt factor.
- Experiment with Pickles: If you’re feeling adventurous, try different types of pickles like spicy, garlic, or even pickled jalapeños if you have older kids that like a little kick!
- Pat Pickles Dry: Use a paper towel to pat the pickle slices dry to prevent a soggy sandwich.
