- 4 slices sourdough or white sandwich bread
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 sandwich-style dill pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Place all four slices of bread on a cutting board. Lightly spread Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.
Arrange one slice of cheddar cheese on two of the bread slices, mustard side facing up.
Layer two dill pickle slices over the cheese on each sandwich.
Top with another slice of cheddar cheese and close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down.
Use a butter knife to spread softened butter on the outside of both sides of each sandwich.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet, let cool for one minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
