Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Dill pickles
- 0.5 medium Vidalia onion
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the Vidalia onion.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions with a pinch of salt and black pepper for 3-4 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread evenly.
Step 4
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, lay down 1 slice of cheddar cheese on each.
Step 5
Add 2 slices of dill pickles and half of the sautéed Vidalia onions to each slice of cheese-covered bread.
Step 6
Top with the second slice of cheddar cheese for each sandwich.
Step 7
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, with the buttered side facing outward.
Step 8
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving.
