Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 slices Sourdough Bread Day-old works best to avoid sogginess.
For the Cheese
  • 4 oz Dill Havarti Cheese Feel free to swap with cheddar or mozzarella.
For the Pickles
  • 4 slices Dill Pickles Pat them dry to keep the bread crisp.
For the Spread
  • 2 Tbsp Salted Butter Use unsalted butter with a pinch of salt for flavor.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your ingredients: gather sourdough bread, dill Havarti cheese, dry-patted dill pickles, and salted butter. Cut cheese into slices or grate for easier melting.
  2. Build the sandwich by layering half of the grated dill Havarti cheese on one slice of bread, adding the dill pickles, and topping with the remaining cheese before placing the second slice on top.
  3. Butter the outer surfaces of both slices of bread generously.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat until a drop of water sizzles to ensure even cooking without burning.
  5. Cook the sandwich for 4-5 minutes on one side, pressing down gently, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden and crisp.
  7. Add a layer of dill pickle-flavored potato chips inside the sandwich before closing it.
  8. Slice the sandwich in half and serve warm with tomato soup or a fresh salad.

Notes

Pat pickles dry to maintain crunch. Cook on medium-low heat for even browning. Don't skimp on butter for a crispy exterior. Add chips right before flipping for extra crunch.
