Melty cheese, tangy pickles, and buttery sourdough combine for a rich, comforting snack or meal.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread & Dairy
01 - 4 slices sourdough bread
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 3.5 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
04 - 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
05 - 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
→ Pickles
06 - 8 to 10 dill pickle slices, patted dry
→ Condiments (optional)
07 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
# How to Make It:
01 - Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
02 - Evenly distribute grated cheddar and mozzarella over two slices of bread, on top of the cream cheese.
03 - Arrange dill pickle slices evenly over the cheese layers.
04 - Optionally spread Dijon mustard on the remaining bread slices; place them mustard side down over the pickle-covered slices to form sandwiches.
05 - Generously butter the exterior sides of each sandwich to ensure crispy browning.
06 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat to prevent burning while melting cheese.
07 - Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until bread is golden brown and cheeses have melted.
08 - Remove sandwiches from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve hot.
