Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting dry your sliced dill pickles with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and ranch dressing until smooth and creamy.
  3. In another bowl, mix together parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt.
  4. Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Layer pickles and cheese on one slice.
  6. Spread unsalted butter on the outer sides of each slice of bread and sprinkle with the seasoning mixture.
  7. Cook the assembled sandwiches in the skillet for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Once cooked, remove from the skillet, allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve.
