🥪 Pickle Grilled Cheese: Gooey, Golden, and Unforgettable

When it comes to comfort food, grilled cheese is a classic. But add in the bold crunch of Mr. Crisp pickles, and suddenly you’ve got something unforgettable. The tangy bite of pickles cuts through melty cheddar and buttery sourdough for a sandwich that’s equal parts cozy and crave-worthy.


🥒 Pick Your Pickle Personality

Any flavor works — each one creates its own signature twist:

  • Garlic Dill: Savory and bold
  • House Dill: Crisp and classic
  • Bread & Butter: Sweet and tangy
  • Spicy Garlic: Just enough heat
  • Sweet with Heat: Sweet, spicy, and addictive

🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melty cheese blend)
  • 4–5 slices Mr. Crisp pickles
  • Butter for grilling

👩🍳 Instructions

  1. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Place one slice, butter-side down, in a hot skillet.
  3. Layer with half the cheese, pickle slices, and the remaining cheese.
  4. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
  5. Grill over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides, and cheese is fully melted.

✨ Tips & Variations

  • Cheese Swap: Try mozzarella for a stretchier melt or pepper jack for spice.
  • Pickle Upgrade: Chop pickles into relish style for even distribution.
  • Extra Crispy: Add a sprinkle of parmesan to the outside of the bread before grilling.
