Ready to make a delicious Dill Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwich? Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare the Bread:

Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

If using garlic powder, mix it into the softened butter before spreading it on the bread. This will infuse the bread with a delicious garlic flavor.

2. Assemble the Sandwich:

Flip the bread slices over so that the buttered sides are facing down.

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (if using) on one slice of bread.

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the mustard.

Layer the dill pickle slices on top of the cheese.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pickles.

Add the fresh dill (or dried dill) on top of the cheese.

Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.

3. Cook the Sandwich:

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

Place the assembled sandwich in the hot pan.

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.

4. Melt the Cheese (if needed):

If the bread is browning too quickly before the cheese is fully melted, lower the heat and cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to a minute. This will help to trap the heat and melt the cheese more evenly.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

Remove the grilled cheese sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute (if you can resist!).

Slice the sandwich in half. And dig in! Enjoy the crispy, gooey, tangy, and delicious goodness
