Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.

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.

I loved this recipe. I used whipped cream cheese and a lighter calorie bread. I also used less red pepper flakes. Definitely make it again for a easy dinner.

I usually add tomato to my grilled cheese, so when I saw this my thoughts were, ok, I'll try it. When I did and tasted, I doubt I'll go back to plain grilled cheese & tomato ever again. Thank ...
