Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread
- 1 cup sharp cheddar (shredded)
- 1 cup low moisture mozzarella (shredded)
- 1/4 cup dill pickles (minced)
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- butter
- salt
Instructions
- Heat a flat nonstick pan or skillet over medium low to medium heat. Add some butter to the skillet and allow it to melt.
- Fold the dill into the cream cheese.
- Mince the pickles into small pieces.
- Lightly toast the bread on one side by placing it in the pan to cook. When the bread is done, each slice should have a light golden brown color on one side. This should take no more than a few minutes. If it takes a long time for the bread to reach a light golden brown color, you should increase the heat on your stovetop. If it takes less than a few minutes for the bread to develop some color, you may need to reduce the heat.
- Assemble the grilled cheese sandwiches. Start by smearing some cream cheese on the toasted side of the bread. Do this for half of the slices of bread.After that, spread the pickles and cheese on top of the cream cheese. Again, this should only be done to half of the slices of bread.When you are done with that, top each sandwich off with another slice of bread. Place the toasted side of the bread face down so that the toasted side of the bread is touching the toppings.
- Cook the grilled cheese sandwiches on one side until the cheese starts to partially melt and the bread turns a deep golden brown color. This should take no more than a few minutes. Flip the sandwiches over and cook them on the other side until the cheese is mostly melted and the other side of the bread also has a nice golden brown color.
- Salt the outside of the sandwiches and serve.
