Step-by-Step Instructions 👩‍🍳

  2. Add a layer of pickle slices (drizzle with pickle juice if using).

  3. Top with Swiss cheese and remaining cheddar.

  4. Close sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.

3. Grill to Perfection

  3. For extra crispiness, cover with a lid for the last minute to melt the cheese fully.
