For the Creamy Filling

  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt Adjust based on personal dietary needs.
For Assembly
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Can swap for any crusty bread.

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter Can replace with margarine for a dairy-free choice.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the pickles by patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Make the cream cheese mixture by blending softened cream cheese and ranch dressing until smooth.
  3. Combine the spices: dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt in a bowl.
  4. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
  5. Assemble the sandwich by spreading the cream cheese mixture on the sourdough slices, adding pickles and cheese, and closing the sandwich with the remaining bread.
  6. Cook the sandwich in the skillet for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Serve warm, slicing the sandwich after slightly cooling.
