Grate the dill havarti and set it in a bowl so it’s ready to melt.
Chop the dill pickles finely and pat them dry to avoid soggy bread.
Butter one side of each sourdough slice evenly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat until warm but not smoking.
Place one slice butter side down in the skillet and layer with half the grated havarti.
Scatter the chopped pickles over the cheese, then add the handful of dill pickle chips.
Top with the remaining cheese and the second bread slice butter side up.
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about two to three minutes.
Flip carefully and press lightly with a spatula, cooking until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, slice, and serve hot.

Always pat the pickles dry to keep your bread from steaming. Reheat leftover sandwiches in a skillet for optimal texture.
