Kosher Dill Pickles, thin sliced (sandwich style)

Cuban bread – 1 small loaf. (Italian or French can be substituted)

Method without a sandwich press

Cover with the other half piece of bread.. Wrap the sandwich in foil or parchment paper.

Without a sandwich press, use an oven heated to 400 degrees. Place the sandwich into a large warmed cast iron skillet. Nest another large cast iron skillet on top and place the whole thing into the pre heated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes. The bread should be crispy and the cheese melted.
