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 on top of the sandwich.
  • Cook the sandwich by placing it in the preheated panini maker and cook 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:  You don't need to spread butter on the outside pieces of bread to make this sandwich crunchy. It's so much better for you too! Enjoy.
