Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook until the butter is fragrant and browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and strain.
- Place 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Top each with a slice of cheese, some ham, and some gherkins. Top with another slice of cheese. Top the sandwiches with the remaining bread and spread brown butter on both sides.
- Place 2 sandwiches in a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Cover the skillet and cook until the bread is evenly browned, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again, and cook until the bread is browned on the other side and the cheese is melted, about 2 more minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. If desired, rub the outside of the toasted bread with garlic halves for a little extra garlic flavor.
