Ingredients
4 slices bread (such as Texas toast or Italian bread)
2 tablespoons salted butter, very soft or almost melted
3 ounces cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded
10–12 bread and butter pickle slices, drained and patted dry
Instructions
Start by preheating a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Arrange bread on a work surface. Spread or brush butter in a thin layer over the tops of all pieces of bread.
Flip 2 of the pieces so the unbuttered side is up. Spread half of the shredded cheese evenly on the unbuttered bread.
Arrange pickles on top of the cheese, then add the remaining cheese on top of the pickles.
Place the other 2 slices of bread, buttered side up, on top.
Transfer sandwiches to the skillet. It should be warm but not too hot.
Cook slowly for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt and the bottom is deep golden brown. If your bread browns too quickly, reduce the heat and cover the skillet.
Flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, covered as needed, until the bottoms are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Transfer to plates, cut in half, and serve immediately.
