Ingredients
  

For the Cream Cheese Mixture
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Can substitute with vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 tbsp Ranch Dressing Replace with homemade ranch for a fresher taste.
  • 0.5 tsp Dried Parsley Use fresh parsley for a brighter taste.
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be swapped for a stronger flavor.
  • 0.5 tsp Onion Powder Shallots are a great alternative.
For the Sandwich
  • Sliced Dill Pickles Make sure to pat them dry to avoid sogginess.
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Substitute with whole grain or gluten-free bread if desired.
  • 4 oz Cheese Try sharp cheddar or a plant-based cheese for diverse flavor profiles.
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter Olive oil or dairy-free butter can be used as substitutes.
Expert Touches
  • 0.25 tsp Kosher Salt Use table salt as an alternative, but reduce the amount slightly.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting dry the sliced dill pickles using a clean kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing until smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt.
  4. Place a skillet over medium-low heat and allow it to warm for about 2 minutes.
  5. Take two slices of sourdough bread and generously spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice.
  6. Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes.
  7. Once both sides of your sandwich are perfectly crispy and the cheese is delightfully melted, remove them from the skillet.
