Print Recipe

Get ready to embark on a flavor adventure with the Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwich! This unique creation is the perfect fusion of tangy, crunchy pickles and melty, creamy cheese, all nestled between slices of perfectly golden, buttery sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12–16 sliced dill pickles
  • 4 ounce cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon ranch dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large slices square loaf sourdough bread
  • 4 ounce cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend), shredded or sliced
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt. Mix these ingredients together until they’re well-incorporated and the seasoning is evenly distributed.

2. Grab your slices of sourdough bread and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of each slice. This will act as the “glue” to hold the sandwich together and add a delightful creaminess to every bite.

3. Now it’s time to layer the pickles and cheese between the bread slices. Place the pickles in a single layer on top of the cream cheese-coated bread, then top with the shredded or sliced cheese of your choice.

4. To achieve that perfectly crisp, golden-brown exterior, spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on the outside of each sandwich slice. This will help the bread toast to perfection in the skillet.

5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and ooey-gooey.

6. Once the Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwich is cooked to perfection, slice it in half and serve it warm, with any additional toppings or condiments you desire.

Notes

To elevate your Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwich even further, consider these tips and tricks:

While dill pickles are the classic choice, you can also experiment with bread-and-butter pickles or even spicy pickles to add a little heat to your sandwich.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Provolone, to create your own unique flavor profile. The combination of melty cheeses pairs beautifully with the tangy pickles.

For the perfect golden-brown exterior, be sure to cook the sandwich over medium heat and keep a close eye on it, flipping it occasionally to ensure even browning. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding other tasty ingredients to your Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwich, such as sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon, or even a drizzle of spicy pickle juice for an extra burst of flavor.
