Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Base
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 6 oz dill Havarti cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp dill pickles, chopped and patted dry
For Buttering
- 2 pieces salted butter
For Serving
- 1 handful dill pickle flavored potato chips
Instructions
- Assemble the Cheese and Pickle Sandwich: Lay out the 2 slices of sourdough bread. Evenly sprinkle half of the grated dill Havarti cheese over one slice. Add the chopped and patted dry dill pickles in an even layer atop the cheese. Then, cover with the remaining grated cheese and place the second slice of bread on top to form the sandwich.
- Butter the Sandwich: Spread the salted butter evenly on the outer sides of both bread slices—top and bottom. This ensures a golden, crispy crust when grilling.
- Grill the Sandwich: Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the buttered sandwich in the skillet and cook for several minutes on each side, pressing gently if desired. Cook low and slow until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted inside.
- Add Chips and Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and carefully open it while still hot. Add a handful of dill pickle flavored potato chips inside, then close the sandwich again. Slice in half and serve immediately for a crunchy, melty experience.
Notes
- Patting dry the pickles prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.
- Use medium-low heat to ensure cheese melts fully without burning the bread.
- Dill pickle flavored potato chips add an extra layer of crunch and flavor contrast.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the chips’ crispness and the cheese’s creaminess.
