Grill the sandwich
In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet if needed. Grill for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, until it is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Serve
Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm, optionally with additional pickles on the side.
