Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices sourdough bread use day-old for less sogginess
  • 4 ounces dill Havarti cheese can substitute with any meltable cheese
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles ensure slices are patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter can substitute with olive oil for a dairy-free option
For Enhanced Crunch
  • 1 handful dill pickle flavored potato chips optional; use regular chips if unavailable

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Bread: Lay out 2 slices of day-old sourdough bread on a clean surface. Grate the dill Havarti cheese and sprinkle half over one slice.
  2. Add the Pickles: Layer the chopped and dried dill pickles over the cheese on the first slice. Top with remaining cheese.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top of the layered ingredients, pressing down gently.
  4. Butter the Outside: Spread salted butter on the exterior of both slices of bread to create a golden crust.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes.
  6. Cook the Sandwich: Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
  7. Add Chips for Extra Crunch: Remove sandwich from skillet, sprinkle potato chips inside, then close it.
  8. Slice and Serve: Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
