Fried Pickle Dip Toastie (Crispy, Cheesy Pickle Sandwich)
If you love fried pickle dip, this Fried Pickle Dip Toastie turns it into the ultimate crispy, melty sandwich. Cream cheese, gooey Muenster, diced pickles, and crunchy onions come together between golden, buttery bread for the perfect salty, tangy bite.
Made in the Toastie Press™ in minutes — no skillet required.
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 2 slices bread (artisan white, sourdough, or sandwich bread)
- 2 slices Muenster, cheddar, or mozzarella cheese
- 2 Tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 2–3 Tbsp diced pickles
- 1–2 Tbsp crispy fried onions (store-bought)
- 1 Tbsp softened butter
Directions:
- Layer the Cheese: Place one slice of cheese on each slice of bread. Then, spread softened cream cheese on top of the sliced cheese.
- Add Pickles and Crunch: Top one slice with diced pickles and crispy fried onions.
- Add Butter: Place the second slice (cream cheese side down) on top to form the sandwich. Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of both slices of bread.
- Press and Toast: Place the sandwich into the Toastie Press™ and clamp shut. Insert into your Revolution toaster and select the Toastie Press setting on high. Toast until golden brown and melted.
- Slice and Serve: Carefully remove, let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Can You Put Pickles in a Grilled Cheese?
Yes — pickles add acidity that balances melted cheese and butter. Dill pickles are the most common choice because their tangy flavor cuts through rich cheeses like Muenster, cheddar, or mozzarella. Just be sure to pat them dry before assembling to prevent soggy bread.

Extra Crunch: Double the crispy onions.
Why Make This Fried Pickle Panini in the Toastie Press™?
The Toastie Press seals the sandwich closed while evenly toasting both sides at once. That means perfectly melted cheese, warm cream cheese, and crispy golden bread without flipping or smashing it in a pan. It keeps the filling contained and gives you consistent, edge-to-edge crispiness every time. Just assemble, butter, press, and toast.
