Mini Pumpernickel Grilled-Cheese and Pickle Sandwiches

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.

These were a good quick snack! I like the tartness of the pickle with the creamy cheese and salty ham; and anything on pumpernickel is wonderful! Made with pickly chips rather than slicing the pickles myself. I also cooked more like a grilled cheese; I used spray butter on both sides of the bread and cooked on my griddle. Made for ZWT6 Scandinavia.Reply
