Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Rustic bread slices
- 8 slices Cooked ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Butter one side of each bread slice with about half a tablespoon of butter per slice. Ensure the buttered side will face outward on the sandwich.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until fully combined. Spread a thin layer of the mixture on the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread.
Layer the sandwiches in the following order: Place a slice of ham, half a slice of Swiss cheese, 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut, a sprinkle of caraway seeds (if using), another half slice of cheese, and a second slice of ham on top of each prepared bread slice with the mustard-mayo spread.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.
Place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking, until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted to perfection.
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
