Grilled cheese sarnies w semi-homemade dill pickles

Sliced orange "American style" cheese, slices of bread, butter, olive oil.

Slice your loaf of bread, butter each side slightly, then fry in a pan with some olive oil. When you have about finished the browning of each side of bread, add the slice of cheese, then top with a slice of bread that has been toasted brown on both sides, as you finish browning the bottom. Cook only one or two sandwiches at a time, so they get nicely browned. We like ours a bit more than slightly browned.

Serve with sour dill garlic pickles:


As I can´t get dill pickles here, but have found simply brined pickles, I make my own from that. Take a jar of salty brined pickles, that have no sugar or sweeteners in them, and add the spices you like, and let steep for a few days. Garlic needs to be removed in a day or two or it gets overwhelming.

The spices and herbs I use are one or 2 whole pieces of garlic (so it can be easily removed), lots of fresh dill, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, black cumin, dash of tabasco, black pepper corns...
