Ready In
- Combine water, vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over low heat.
- Spread butter onto 1 side of each bread slice. Spread cream cheese on the opposite side of 1 of the bread slices. Layer Cheddar cheese and pickles on top of the cream cheese layer. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce on the other slice of bread on the side opposite the butter; place bread on top of pickle layer, butter-side on the outside, creating a sandwich.
- Cook sandwich in the hot skillet until cheese is melted and bread is browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove top bread piece, add tomatoes to middle, and close sandwich.

- Cook's Note:
- Chile paste can be used in place of the red pepper flakes.

This recipe was ok, but a bit too rich for my tastes. Next time I'll leave out the cream cheese. The vinegar sauce is a great addition, though I'll cut back on the sugar next time.

Swapped out the pickles for thin strips of uncured ham, used Country Kitchen Texas Toast bread. Should be illegal to make a grilled cheese this good.... Yum!!!!
