AIM'S FAVORITE PICKLE CHEESE MELT

Aim's Favorite Pickle Cheese Melt image

You know, growing up, I had all sorts of funny combos of food I liked. This one seems to be the one I am still eating when I want a snack and nothing else in the house sounds good. I love it with Chicken Noodle Soup.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 slices white bread
2 slices American cheese (Kraft is my favorite!)
9 dill pickle slices (I usually use the thin hamburger dills)
butter, for frying

Steps:

Preheat a skillet and toss in enough butter to fry your sandwich. I tend to use more than necessary, usually, because I like mine more wet than toasty.
Place the pickle slices on top of the cheese and top with the other cheese slice and bread.
Fry the sandwich until it gets browned like you like it, but long enough on either side to melt the cheese until gooey.
Eat it while it's hot!
