🛒 Ingredients
-
4 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough or brioche works great)
-
4 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
-
4–6 slices crispy cooked bacon
-
6–8 slices dill pickles (or pickle chips)
-
2 tbsp butter, softened
-
1 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
-
1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for crispiness)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Bread
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. For an extra crispy crust, mix butter with a little mayo and garlic powder before spreading.
2. Assemble the Sandwich
On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer:
-
A slice of cheese
-
Bacon
-
Pickles
-
Another slice of cheese
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
3. Grill It
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
4. Serve
Slice in half and serve immediately while gooey and hot — the perfect balance of salty, tangy, and cheesy!
💡 Tips
-
Try using pepper jack or smoked gouda for a flavor upgrade.
-
Swap dill pickles for spicy pickles if you like heat.
-
For a diner-style finish, brush the bread with melted butter right before serving.
🍴 Serving Suggestion
Pair it with tomato soup, crispy fries, or a side salad for a complete meal.
