Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Rye bread
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.3333 cup Sauerkraut
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of rye bread. This will be the side you place down on the skillet later.
On the non-buttered side of one slice of bread, spread the Dijon mustard evenly.
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the mustard.
Drain the sauerkraut to remove excess moisture, then spread it evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle caraway seeds over the sauerkraut if desired.
Add the second slice of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut layer.
Place the second slice of rye bread on top, buttered side facing outward.
Carefully place the sandwich on the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
