Frequently Asked Cooking Questions
- → Which bread should I pick for this sandwich?
Sourdough works best because it’s sturdy and has a mild tang that goes great with cheese and pickles.
- → Can I swap cheddar or mozzarella for other cheeses?
Definitely, Swiss or provolone are good swaps if you want a new twist but still want cheese that melts nicely.
- → How do I get the dill pickles ready?
Cut them lengthwise and make sure to drain any extra juice so the sandwich doesn’t get soggy.
- → Is butter needed for the grill?
Butter’s what makes the bread golden and crispy but you can use oil if you want or change how much you put on.
- → Why add Dijon mustard here?
Dijon brings a gentle zing and tiny bit of heat that lifts the flavors but it’s totally fine to skip it if you don’t like it.
