Ingredients

• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 slices Dill pickles
• 1.5 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoons Whole-grain mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Lay the two slices of sourdough bread on a flat surface. Spread mayonnaise evenly over one side of each slice.

Step 2

Flip the bread slices over and spread the non-mayonnaise side of one slice with the whole-grain mustard.

Step 3

Layer the sharp cheddar cheese slices on top of the mustard-spread bread.

Step 4

Add the dill pickle slices evenly on top of the cheese, ensuring an even distribution for each bite.

Step 5

Sprinkle a light dusting of black pepper over the pickle layer for added flavor.

Step 6

Top the sandwich with the second bread slice, mayonnaise side up, to complete the sandwich.

Step 7

Heat a medium skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add 1.5 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 8

Carefully place the sandwich into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side or until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 9

Flip the sandwich gently and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure full contact with the heat.

Step 10

Remove the Pickle Cheese Melt from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing diagonally and serving.
