Cooking Steps
Pat pickles dry with a paper towel.
Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until softened, 20-30 seconds. Add dressing and shredded cheese and stir to combine.
Spread bread with cheese mixture; place on a clean work surface, cheese sides up. Top with as many pickles as you’d like. Top with remaining bread, cheese sides down.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook until bread is golden and cheese has melted slightly, 2-3 minutes per side. (Work in batches if necessary.)
Halve and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the unique combination, though some found it too rich or creamy. Adding mustard or Tabasco helped balance flavors.
- Ease of prep: Simple to make and a clever way to keep shredded cheese from falling out while grilling.
- Suggestions: Consider dicing pickles for more consistent flavor. Try reducing cream cheese or adding protein like chicken or beef for variety.
- Portions: Some felt it needed a side dish to be more filling. A few wished for more pickles or cheese to match the bread.
- Texture: Thinner pickle slices might improve the eating experience. A few found the cream cheese mixture too soft for a classic grilled cheese.
Reviews from our home cooks
It was super tasty. I feel like it could be improved with something though. Either ham, bacon, tomato, or some herbs like dill.
Thinner pickles and a bit less of the cheese goo would make it better. Maybe a ranch seasoning packet instead of mixing in the dressing
Wow! Very good, and a wonderful, sneaky way to keep the shredded cheese from falling out while you grill it. Wish I had thought of it. Thank you.
Recommend putting some pickle juice in the cream cheese mixture 🤤
Next time I would dice up the pickles for more consistent flavor - but as strange as this combination was, it worked!
Good, but wouldn't make it with as much cream cheese. Definitely made me like pickles with grilled cheese though
Not a mix that I would be used too, but it was Surprisingly good and simple to make.
Wow this is so easy and good! Why have I never heard of this before?!
This was delicious! My pickle obsessed 4 yr old was over the moon
The hearty bread with ingredients was a game changer. Loved it!
