Ingredients
For the 18,000 Island Dressing:
- 1 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, diced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic, granulated
- 2 slices bread, marble rye
- 4 slices Swiss cheese, aged
- 6 ounces pastrami, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Yield
Serves: 1 sandwich
Preparation
For the dressing, mix all ingredients together and season to taste. Set aside.
Butter the bottom slice of bread then it flip over to start building the sandwich: Layer on 2 slices of cheese, the pastrami, sauerkraut, 2 tablespoons of 18,000 Island Dressing (leftover dressing lasts up to two weeks in the refrigerator!) and the 2 remaining slices of cheese.
Butter the top slice of rye bread and set in place with the buttered side facing out. Place sandwich on a griddle or in a pan over medium heat and cook on both sides until golden and gooey in the middle. (For extra-melty cheese, place a metal bowl over the sandwich as it cooks.) Enjoy!
