Description
A delicious classic grilled cheese sandwich with pastrami, pickles and sauerkraut. Easy to make and extremely delicious. We love to make this for lunch…
Ingredients
For the Thousand Island Sauce:
2 tbsp. mayonnaise*
2 tbsp. sour cream
1 tbsp. ketchup*
1 tsp. mustard (medium hot)*
1 tsp. Sriracha sauce*
1 tbsp. orange juice
1 small dill pickle, diced finely
1/2 red onion, diced finely
1/2 hard-boiled egg, diced finely
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper*
For the sandwiches:
8 slices bread (e.g. rye bread)
7 oz. sauerkraut, drained
14 oz. pastrami or roast beef, thinly sliced
8 slices of cheese (e.g. Leerdammer Toast & Burger)
2 large pickles, in slices
some butter for frying
Instructions
1. For the Thousand Island Sauce dice the small pickle, onion and hard-boiled egg very finely. Mix with the mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, mustard, Sriracha sauce and orange juice until well combined. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
2. Spread some butter on two slices of the bread and place in a medium-hot griddle pan* with the buttered side facing down. Spread some of the Thousand Island Sauce on the bread, add some sauerkraut on top, pastrami or roast beef and some slices of the pickles. Finish with two slices of cheese per sandwich and close with the second slice of bread that is currently in the pan as well. Fry on both sides until the bread is golden brown, crisp, and the cheese has melted – this takes about 3-4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining bread and toppings.
Notes
Enjoy grillin’!
