Pastrami Reuben Panini
Servings 2
Equipment
- Panini Maker, Grill Pan, or Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
Sauce:
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- ½ tsp sweet pickle relish
- Dash of dried mustard
Sandwich:
- 4 slices of rye bread
- Pastrami to taste
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Preheat a panini grill. OR, heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Make the sauce by combining the ketchup, mayonnaise, sweet relish, and dried mustard in a dish; mix until well combined.
- Prepare the sandwich by slathering a piece of rye bread with some of the sauce, then top with pastrami, well-drained sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Add more sauce to the remaining piece of bread, if desired, then place it on top of the sandwich.
- Cook the sandwich by placing it on the preheated panini maker and cooking for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.
- For the stovetop, cook the sandwich in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until golden brown, warmed through, and the cheese is gooey. Side Note: I don't add butter to the bread before cooking, but feel free to do so if you prefer.
