Pumpernickel and Pickle Grilled Cheese is one of the world’s best sandwiches. The crunchy bread, melty sharp cheese, and pop of briny pickle is a delicious combination and ultimate comfort food.
- If you’re cooking these in the oven, turn on the oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice your cheese and pickles.
- Butter or oil one side of each slice of your bread.
- On the side that isn’t buttered or oiled place a few slices of cheese. Then add your pickles, another layer of cheese, and your other slice of bread with the butter or oiled side up.
- Repeat with the other sandwiches.
- Place into a skillet over medium high heat or into the oven.
- Cook about 5 minutes per side. Flip and cook about 5 more minutes. You want the outside toasted and the cheese to be melty.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
*Marbled Rye. rye, or Pumpernickel work fine here.
*Any dill pickle will work, but I like spicy garlic dill for an added pop of flavor.
*Make it a bit more healthy by using Cabot’s 75% fat-free sharp cheddar. It still gets all melty, but you don’t feel as guilty for eating it.
*I usually just slice up 1 or 2 pickles because there is rarely slice pickles in our refrigerator.
*To save time and some calories, I just spray my bread with a little olive oil.
*You can make these in the oven! Just heat the oven to 400 degrees while you are prepping your ingredients. Pop the sandwiches in for about 5 minutes per side.
