Description

These Pretzel Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches are a delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese, featuring bite-sized pretzel rolls filled with melted cheddar cheese. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, they offer a crispy, buttery exterior with a gooey, cheesy center enhanced by the optional tang of Dijon mustard and freshness from chopped chives.

Ingredients

Sandwiches

  • 6 mini pretzel rolls, halved and cut into bite-sized squares
  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded or sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Skillet: Start by placing your nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Preheating the skillet is vital as it ensures that the sandwiches will cook evenly and get that golden-brown crust we all love.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: While your skillet is heating, begin assembling the sandwiches. Take a small piece of cheddar cheese and place it between two halves of a pretzel roll. Optionally, you can spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bread for added flavor.
  3. Butter the Sandwiches: Spread a little softened butter on the outside of each sandwich half. This will help create a crispy and flavorful exterior when cooked.
  4. Cook the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the hot skillet carefully. Arrange them evenly and press down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact for browning.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once your sandwiches are cooked to perfection with a golden crust and the cheese inside is melted, remove them from the heat. Garnish with finely chopped chives for a fresh, mild onion flavor and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like mozzarella or gouda.
  • For extra flavor, add a dash of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the butter before spreading.
  • If you prefer, use regular-sized pretzel rolls and slice them into smaller pieces to serve as bite-sized appetizers.
  • Make sure the skillet is properly preheated to avoid sticking and achieve an even golden-brown crust.
  • Serve with mustard or your preferred dipping sauce for added taste.
