Mini Pumpernickel Grilled-Cheese and Pickle Sandwiches image

From the Netherlands, these sound scrumptious, either for lunch or as appetizers. They may need more cooking time. Note: To cook large batches for a party, assemble the sandwiches a few hours before cooking and chill them on a baking sheet, wrapped in plastic wrap. Before serving, brush melted butter onto the outsides of the sandwiches and broil on a baking sheet, turning once. From Sunset magazine, May 2007. Posted for ZWT 2010.

Time 21m

Yield 12 sandwiches, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 slices cocktail-size pumpernickel bread
4 ounces aged gouda cheese, sliced thin (such as Winchester Sharp)
2 dill pickles, sliced thin or 2 about 1 cup dill pickle slices, blotted dry with paper towels
1/8 lb thin-sliced smoked ham, cut to fit on pumpernickel slices
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • On each of 12 slices of bread, arrange a layer of gouda slices, cover with a layer of pickle slices, and top with a slice of ham.
  • Top ham with another slice or two of cheese and cover with a piece of bread.
  • Divide butter between two large frying pans and heat over medium heat until butter melts and foam subsides.
  • Divide sandwiches between pans and cook, turning once, until cheese is melted and each side is crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately.

These sandwiches were a total disaster. The bread was burnt and the cheese was rubbery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sandwiches turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These sandwiches were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sandwiches turned out really bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I thought these sandwiches were just okay. The pumpernickel bread was a bit too strong for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of pickles, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The cheese and bread were so good that I didn't even notice the pickles.

These sandwiches are so cute and they're really tasty too. I love the way the pickles add a little bit of tang.

I've made these sandwiches with different types of cheese and they're always delicious. My favorite is a sharp cheddar.

I'm not a big fan of pumpernickel bread, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The cheese and pickles balance out the strong flavor of the bread.

I've made these sandwiches several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The pumpernickel bread adds a nice nutty flavor and the grilled cheese is always gooey and delicious.
