Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices bread white or whole wheat
  • 1 cup dill pickle slices drained well
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato sliced thin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter for toasting

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each bread slice and toast in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture generously on the untoasted side of each bread slice.
  5. On four slices of bread, layer the pickle slices, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices evenly.
  6. Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, spread side down. Cut diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

For a breadless version, use large pickle halves as the bread and fill with cream cheese spread and vegetables. Make sure to thoroughly drain pickles to prevent sogginess. This sandwich tastes best when served immediately after assembly for maximum crunch.
