🍞 Step-by-Step: How to Make Dill Pickle Bacon Grilled Cheese
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Cook bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Shred or slice cheese.
Pat pickles dry with a paper towel — this prevents sogginess.
Soften butter and have mayo ready.
Step 2: Build the Sandwich
Lay out two slices of bread.
Layer on one side:
Cheese
Bacon
Pickles
More cheese (helps bind everything)
Top with the second slice of bread.
Pro Tip: Don’t overfill — you want even melting and crispiness.
Step 3: Butter & Mayo the Bread
Spread mayonnaise on the outside of one side of each sandwich.
Spread softened butter on the outside of the other side.
Why both?
Mayo creates a crispy, golden crust
Butter adds rich flavor
Together, they’re unbeatable.
Step 4: Grill to Perfection
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat
Place sandwiches in the pan, mayo-side down
Cook 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy
Flip and cook the other side until golden and cheese is fully melted
