Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Braunschweiger (liverwurst)
- 2 slices Rye bread
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 4 rings Red onion
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Pickle slices
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for toasting)
Instructions
Place the two slices of rye bread on a clean working surface.
Spread yellow mustard on one slice of bread and mayonnaise on the other.
Evenly distribute the Braunschweiger onto the slice of bread with mustard, spreading it with a knife to cover the surface.
Layer the lettuce leaves on top of the Braunschweiger.
Add the red onion rings and pickle slices for extra crunch and tanginess.
Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
