Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Print Recipe

Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a tangy, cheesy twist on the classic comfort food. This sandwich combines the gooey goodness of melted cheese with the briny crunch of pickles, creating a unique flavor explosion in every bite. The salty, tangy pickles perfectly balance the richness of the cheese, while the golden, crispy bread adds the ideal texture. Whether you’re a pickle lover or a grilled cheese enthusiast, this sandwich is a must-try!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of bread (sourdough or your favorite bread)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 3–4 dill pickle slices (or more, to taste)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or hot sauce for extra flavor

Ingredient Highlights

  • Cheese: Use sharp cheddar for a bold flavor, mozzarella for a milder taste, or a combination for the best of both worlds.
  • Pickles: Dill pickles are classic, but bread-and-butter or spicy pickles can add a fun twist.
  • Butter: Helps create a golden, crispy crust on the bread.
  • Bread: Sourdough, rye, or whole-grain bread works well for extra texture and flavor.

Instructions

Prepare the Sandwich:

  1. Butter the Bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a crispy, golden crust when cooked.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on a skillet over medium heat. Add half of the shredded cheese, layer on the pickle slices, and top with the remaining cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.
  3. Cook the Sandwich: Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Serve the Sandwich:

  1. Slice and Enjoy: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately.
