Ingredients
- 8 slices rye bread
- 8 ounces deli-sliced smoked ham
- 8 ounces deli-sliced turkey breast
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the coleslaw: Finely shred the green cabbage and grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Place the cabbage and carrot in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 3
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 4
Butter one side of each slice of rye bread using about half a tablespoon of butter per slice.
Step 5
To assemble one sandwich, place a slice of rye bread buttered side down onto the skillet. Layer it with 2 ounces of smoked ham, 2 ounces of turkey breast, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a generous scoop of prepared coleslaw. Top with another slice of rye bread, buttered side up.
Step 6
Cook the sandwich over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press lightly with a spatula as it cooks for better contact and even grilling.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 4 sandwiches in total.
Step 8
Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Pennsylvania Dutch Sandwiches with dill pickles or chips on the side if desired!
