Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 200 grams Corned beef
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 120 grams Sauerkraut
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Grainy Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the grainy Dijon mustard and mayonnaise to create the tangy sandwich sauce. Set aside.
Lay out the slices of rye bread. Spread a layer of the mustard-mayo sauce on one side of each slice.
On two slices of bread (sauce side up), layer 100 grams of corned beef, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and half of the sauerkraut on each.
If using, sprinkle a small pinch of caraway seeds over the sauerkraut for extra flavor.
Top the sandwiches with the remaining two slices of bread, with the sauce side facing down.
Spread butter on the outside of each slice of bread (both top and bottom).
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them rest for 1 minute, then slice each one in half.
Serve warm with potato chips or a pickle on the side for the full experience!
