CHEESE AND PICKLE SANDWICHES



Cheese and Pickle Sandwiches image

So good with a big mug of steaming hot, sweet tea! I sometimes like to serve these with pickled onions on the side, too. My favorite pickles to use for this are the wonderfully crisp and fresh-tasting bread & butter pickles sold at Trader Joe's.

Time 5m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 slices whole wheat bread
mayonnaise, to taste (I just spread thinly on each slice)
mustard, to taste (whatever kind you like, I like yellow or spicy stone-ground)
1 -2 slice cheddar cheese (better with a at least a medium-sharp cheddar, if not sharp cheddar)
1/4 cup bread and butter pickles, drained (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Spread mayonnaise and mustard on bread. Trim cheese slices to fit bread and place on one slice. Lay pickles over cheese and top with second slice of bread.
  • This is a little easier to eat if cut in half, since the pickle slices tend to want to escape.

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ounces sliced melting cheese (about 2 slices), such as American, Cheddar, muenster, Havarti, Swiss, fontina, Mozzarella, Monterey jack, pepper jack, provolone
2 slices bread, such as white, rye, brioche, sourdough, potato, whole wheat, pumpernickel
1 tablespoon fat, such as mayonnaise, butter or olive, chili or coconut oil

Steps:

  • Oven method (great for a crowd of six or fewer): Put a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Make one sandwich per person: Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat. Place on the preheated baking sheet and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich and bake until golden brown, an additional 5 minutes.
  • Panini press method (for crispy crunchy sandwich that needs minimal attention): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a panini press to medium heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and place in the press. Close the top and cook until lightly browned and the cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Skillet method (fool-proof and low-tech): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, and continue cooking until browned and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Great combos:
  • 1. Pepper jack and sourdough, brushed with chili oil
  • 2. American and white bread, brushed with butter
  • 3. Swiss and rye, brushed with mayo
  • 4. Cheddar and brioche, brushed with butter

GLORIOUS GRILL CHEESE AND PICKLES! HOW GOOD IS THAT? LONGMEADOW



Glorious Grill Cheese and Pickles! How Good is That? Longmeadow image

I love cucumbers, and the next step in keeping cucumbers year round is to pickle them. There is nothing more glorious in nature then opening a processed and canned dill pickle from the summer months. Just biting into one sets off a whole memory of the previous garden and all the treasures it yielded. The second part of the recipe really is based on the typical and very heart warming grilled cheese sandwich. Talk about memories! Remember when you were a youngster, and the rain was pouring sheets outside? You were chilled to the bone from trouping around in it and Mom met you at the front door, helped you out of your wet clothes and gathered the old cast iron skillet out of the cupboard. She then buttered two slices of homemade bread with real butter and put two wonderful slices of cheddar cheese between the bread and grilled away until the sides of the bread became crusty and brown? The inside oozed the cheese out, as it was ready to be devoured alongside potato chips and a pickle. Since I saw this recipe from "Rachel Ray" I have adapted this for the use of my summer pickles and pumpernickel or rye bread. But really you get your pickle, get your bread, some great cheese slices and there you go. Stay in from the rain of the day, and use your cast iron skillet for a trip down memory lane.
