Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Pumpernickel bread
- 4 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 medium-sized Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Honey mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lay out the pumpernickel slices on a clean work surface and spread a thin layer of honey mustard on one side of each slice.
Cut the sharp cheddar cheese into thin slices. Place an even layer of cheese on half of the bread slices (4 slices).
Thinly slice the dill pickles lengthwise or into rounds, depending on preference, and layer the pickles over the cheese.
Top each sandwich with another slice of pumpernickel bread, honey mustard side facing inward, to form 4 sandwiches.
Spread a thin, even layer of unsalted butter on the outside of each sandwich (both the top and bottom slices).
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches onto the skillet.
Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwiches while grilling.
Remove the grilled sandwiches from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Allow them to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Cut each sandwich into quarters to create bite-sized pieces. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mini Pumpernickel Grilled Cheese and Pickle Sandwiches!
