Pickle Bread Cheddar Buns

# What You'll Need:

→ Cheese Buns

01 - 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese (about ¼ inch thick, 3–4 inches wide)

02 - Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper

→ Pickle Layer

03 - 12 to 14 long dill pickle slices, drained and patted dry

→ Sandwich Fillings (optional)

04 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

05 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

06 - 2 slices tomato

07 - 4 slices deli turkey or ham

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with nonstick spray.

02 - Place 4 cheddar slices on the baking sheet, spacing them well apart. Arrange pickle slices in a single, overlapping layer on top of each cheese slice to cover most of it.

03 - Place one cheddar slice over the pickles on each sandwich, pressing gently to form a bun.

04 - Bake for 7 to 8 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly around edges, and golden brown.

05 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes until buns set and can be handled easily.

06 - If desired, spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the inside of each cheese bun. Add tomato slices and deli meat as preferred.

07 - Carefully place the fillings between two cheese-pickle buns to form sandwiches.

08 - Serve while warm and crispy for best texture and flavor.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

No bread required—just crispy, melted cheddar that tastes like indulgence without the carbs.
Ready in under 20 minutes, which means you can throw it together when hunger strikes suddenly.
The pickle-and-cheese combo creates this perfect balance of salty, tangy, and savory that just works.

02 -

Pat your pickles completely dry before assembling—any excess moisture will steam the cheese instead of letting it crisp up.
The cheese needs those five minutes to set properly, otherwise you'll end up with a melted puddle instead of structured buns.
