🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 8 slices cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, sliced)
• 8 slices sandwich bread (whole grain or sourdough)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Start by preparing the quick pickles. Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds and place them in a medium bowl.

2. In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt dissolve (about 3 minutes).

3. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the sliced cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Set aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the sandwich components.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise (if using) to create the honey mustard sauce. Set aside.

5. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.

6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, on the skillet. Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each bread slice.

7. Add a few slices of quick pickles on top of the cheese, then drizzle with a teaspoon of the honey mustard sauce.

8. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese, then cover with a second slice of bread, butter-side up.

9. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

10. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

11. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Cheddar Sandwiches with Quick Pickles and Honey Mustard!
