Reuben Melt Toasted Sandwich Recipe

There is something really, really good about a toasted, melty Reuben sandwich.... mmmm delicious slices of pastrami, gooey melted Emmental cheese, spicy dressing and sauerkraut all tucked up in crisped rye bread. Just so good! 

Reuben toasted sandwich ingredients

• 2 slices of rye/spelt or wholegrain bread

• 2 teaspoon butter

• 4 thin slices of pastrami

• a handful of grated Emmental cheese

• spoonful of sauerkraut

• 1 tbs mayonnaise

• 1 tbs ketchup

• 1 tsp hot chilli sauce

• splash of Worcestershire sauce

How to make a Reuben toasted sandwich

• Heat the toastie maker - I use a Breville

• Mix up the spicy dressing - stir together the mayo, tomato ketchup, hot chilli sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

• Butter the bread

• Place one slice of bread - butter side down into the toastie maker - load up with a spoonful of the spicy dressing, pastrami, grated cheese and sauerkraut - add the top slice of bread - again butter side out.

• Cook the toastie - squeeze the toast maker closed and cook for around 4-5 minutes until the filling is piping hot and the bread golden brown.

Make a Reuben toasted sandwich your way

• Skip the spice - and use ketchup instead of adding the hot chilli sauce.

• Don't fancy sauerkraut - then skip it and try chutney instead.

• Use different bread - switch the rye/spelt bread for any you fancy.

How to serve a Reuben melt toasted sandwich

• We love this as an easy lunch with a glass of juice.
