Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 8 ounces Pastrami
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Russian dressing
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on the dressing-covered side of 2 slices of bread.
Evenly divide the pastrami between both sandwiches, layering it over the Swiss cheese.
Top the pastrami with 1/2 cup of sauerkraut per sandwich.
Place the remaining 2 slices of bread on top with the dressing side facing down, creating a sandwich.
Butter one outer side of each sandwich with 1/2 tablespoon of butter per slice.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches butter-side down in the skillet and press gently. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden and toasted.
Butter the top side of the sandwiches (1/2 tablespoon each) before flipping. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for 1-2 minutes before cutting in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
