RECIPE
Ingredients
8 oz butter, softened
1 bunch fresh parsley
1 Tbsp tarragon
1 Tbsp dill
1 Tbsp basil
Dubliner cheese
Irish cheddar
1/2 jar bread & butter pickles
6-8 slices of rye bread
Directions
Rinse parsley, shake off excess water, cut off the stems, and finely chop the remaining leaves. Combine with remaining herbs in the softened butter and set aside.
Slice cheeses, about 4 slices each per sandwich.
Rinse, drain, and roughly chop pickles.
For each sandwich, butter one side of each slice of bread. Build sandwich by placing one slice, buttered side down, then top with a layer of Dubliner, a layer of pickles, a layer of Irish cheddar, and the other slice of bread, butter side up.
Cook in a pre-heated skillet on medium-high heat, about 3 minutes per side or until brown.
For pre-prans sized servings, cut sandwiches into bite-sized squares.
Makes 3-4 whole sandwiches.

WHO IS RUTHIE?
Ruthie is a mother of two grown kids and fifth of twelve siblings. A retired yoga instructor, she now lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, serving as Kitchen Manager at the Jesuit Novitiate, in addition to owning and managing Organized Living with Ruthie.

WHAT IS PRE-PRANS?
Pre-Prans is basically happy hour. Short for preprandial, it’s anything done right before a meal, like having appetizers and drinks. In the Society of Jesus, “pre-prans” is a traditional way that Jesuits who live together make time in their busy schedules to gather as a community.
