Saturday

Earl Cooks Cheese & Pickles Please - a Sandwich Just Like Mom Made - Sort of

The other day I was taking a short nap when I dreamt about a sandwich my mom used to make and I woke up craving it. It is a Cheese & Pickle Sandwich, with just a few simple ingredients you  usually have on hand. If it sounds weird, it does to my wife too.
—Besides the bread (I used my wife's homemade), all you need is a mild cheese (I chose Colby Jack but my mom always used mild cheddar), bread and butter pickles, and mayonnaise (I used a combination of mayo & horseradish on mine).
—Slice or shave your cheese very thin. You will be shingling it on the bread.
—Coat both sides of the bread with the dressing you choose. I think my mom would occasionally add mustard too, but I didn't need it with the horseradish.
—Layer the pickles on one side of the bread. Stackers are GREAT for a sandwich. Bread and Butter pickles taste best with the mild cheese. I love dill pickles but try it with bread and butter first. You may be surprised. Layer the cheese
slices on top of the pickles, top with the bread and cut on the bias.

This is a great sandwich when you don't want a PB&J. The only thing that might be a good addition would be lettuce, but it's not necessary!
