Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices Sourdough Bread Substitute with thick-cut white or whole wheat if preferred.
  • 4 ounces Dill Havarti Cheese Feel free to swap with cheddar for a different flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Dill Pickles Pat pickles dry to avoid sogginess.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Use generously for the best texture.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Dill Pickle-Flavored Potato Chips For extra crunch inside the sandwich.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing two pieces of sourdough bread, each about 1/2-inch thick. Pat the chopped dill pickles dry with paper towels.
  2. Slice the dill havarti cheese into 1/4-inch thick slabs. Lay one slice of bread down and stack half the cheese on it. Add the chopped pickles, then the remaining cheese, and top with the second slice of bread.
  3. Generously butter the outer sides of both slices of the sandwich with about 1 tablespoon of butter for each side.
  4. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the pan, ensuring it makes good contact for even cooking.
  5. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, checking after 3 minutes for a golden-brown crust. Flip when the bread is crispy.
  6. Flip the sandwich gently and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
  7. Once cooked, open the sandwich slightly and sneak in some dill pickle-flavored potato chips.
  8. Slice the sandwich diagonally into two halves and serve warm with tomato soup or salad.

Notes
