Ingredients
Scale
For the Thousand Island Sauce
- 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp. sour cream
- 1 tbsp. ketchup
- 1 tsp. mustard
- 1 tsp. Sriracha sauce (or chili sauce)
- 1 tbsp. orange juice
- 1 small 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 and Burger)
- 2 large pickles, in slices
- butter for frying
Instructions
- For the Thousand Island (T.I.) 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.
- Spread some butter on two slices of the bread and place in a (not too hot) griddle pan with the buttered side facing down. Spread some of the T.I. 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 – takes about 3-4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining bread and toppings.
