Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 4 slices sourdough or rye bread

- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Layer cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, dill pickle slices, and optional chopped dill on two slices. Spread Dijon mustard on the other two slices and place them mustard-side down on top to form sandwiches.
