Grilled Cheese & Pickle Sandwich
This Grilled Cheese & Pickle Sandwich is cheesy, a little spicy and absolutely delicious. Great for a quick and easy lunch that hits all the notes.
Ingredients
Serves 1 sandwich
- 2 slices sturdy bread (sourdough, country white, or multigrain)
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tbsp sliced spicy pickles or regular pickles
- 1 tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp softened butter (for the bread)
Instructions
- Spread the whole grain Dijon mustard on one side of a slice of bread. Layer the cheddar cheese evenly on top, then scatter the sliced spicy pickles over the cheese. Add more cheese on top of the pickles. Top with the remaining slice of bread.
- Spread butter on the outside of both slices of bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheddar is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet, let sit for a minute so the cheese sets slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes
Tip: If your pickles are very juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel first to keep the sandwich crisp and prevent the bread from getting soggy.
