Pickle Bread Sandwich Delight (Printer-Friendly)

Crunchy cheddar cheese buns layered with tangy dill pickles, offering a delicious low-carb savory bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cheese Buns

01 - 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese (about 0.25 inch thick, 3–4 inches wide)
02 - Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper

→ Pickle Layer

03 - 12–14 long dill sandwich pickle slices, drained and patted dry

→ Sandwich Fillings (optional)

04 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
05 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
06 - 2 slices tomato
07 - 4 slices deli turkey or ham

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
02 - Place 4 cheddar slices on the prepared sheet, spaced apart. Top each slice with a single overlapping layer of pickle slices, covering most of the cheese.
03 - Cover the pickles on each cheese slice with another cheddar slice, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
04 - Bake for 7 to 8 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly at the edges, and golden brown.
05 - Remove from oven and allow the cheese buns to cool for 5 minutes until firm enough to handle.
06 - If desired, spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the inside of each cheese bun. Add tomato slices and deli meat as preferred.
07 - Carefully place the fillings between two cheese-pickle buns to complete each sandwich.
08 - Serve immediately while warm and crispy for optimal texture.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready in under 20 minutes and tastes like you actually put in effort.
  • The cheddar-pickle combo creates this addictive salty-tangy flavor that feels like a snack but satisfies like a real meal.
  • Works beautifully for low-carb eating without tasting like deprivation food.
02 -
  • Don't skip patting the pickles dry—even a little moisture will steam the cheese instead of crisping it, and you'll lose that crucial textural contrast.
  • The five-minute rest after baking is non-negotiable; pulling them out too early and they'll fall apart, wait too long and they lose their warmth and become rubbery.
03 -
  • Buy pre-sliced sharp cheddar from the deli counter if your store offers it—thick, even slices are easier to work with than trying to slice a block yourself.
  • Keep your pickle jar in the fridge and use it as your signal to make these sandwiches; they're the perfect excuse to use up those last slices before they get soft.
