Ingredients
- 8 pieces Rustic bread slices
- 8 slices Cooked ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Caraway seeds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
Butter one side of each bread slice with about half a tablespoon of butter per slice. Ensure the buttered side will face outward on the sandwich.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until fully combined. Spread a thin layer of the mixture on the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread.
Step 4
Layer the sandwiches in the following order: Place a slice of ham, half a slice of Swiss cheese, 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut, a sprinkle of caraway seeds (if using), another half slice of cheese, and a second slice of ham on top of each prepared bread slice with the mustard-mayo spread.
Step 5
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.
Step 6
Place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking, until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted to perfection.
Step 8
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
