- Mixing bowl
- Aluminum foil (optional, for toasting the sandwich)
Ingredients
- 8 slices of rye bread (or any bread of your choice)
- 1 cup of sauerkraut, drained
- 1 cup of vegetarian deli slices (such as vegetarian turkey or vegetarian ham)
- 1 cup of Swiss cheese, sliced or shredded
- ½ cup of vegetarian Russian dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 tablespoons of butter or margarine
Instructions
- Start by preheating your stovetop or electric griddle to medium heat.
- Place a large skillet or frying pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Lay out all the bread slices on a clean surface, buttered side down.
- Spread the vegetarian Russian dressing on the non-buttered side of each bread slice.
- Layer the vegetarian deli slices on half of the bread slices.
- On the remaining bread slices, layer the Swiss cheese followed by the sauerkraut.
- Carefully join the two halves together, creating sandwich pairs.
- Place the sandwiches on the preheated griddle or skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
- Use a spatula or tongs to flip the sandwiches halfway through cooking.
- Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwiches from the heat.
- Optionally, you can wrap the sandwiches in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the cheese is fully melted.
- Carefully unwrap the sandwiches and serve them hot.
