Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Montreal smoked meat, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Rye bread, thick slices
- 4 tbsp Dijon or grainy mustard
- 2 tbsp Butter or margarine (optional, for toasting)
- 1 whole Dill pickle (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat if you plan to toast the sandwiches.
Place the thinly sliced Montreal smoked meat in a steamer or heat-proof colander set over simmering water. Cover with a lid and steam for 3-5 minutes until the meat is warmed through and tender.
Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon or grainy mustard on one side of each rye bread slice.
Pile half of the steamed Montreal smoked meat onto one slice of bread for each sandwich. Spread it evenly across the surface.
Place the second slice of bread, mustard side down, on top to form the sandwich.
If toasting, spread a thin layer of butter or margarine on the outer sides of the sandwich. Place the sandwich in the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crisp.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately with a dill pickle on the side if desired.
