Reuben Pickle Toasties

A hearty and wholesome all-day recipe! Melted cheese that coats the corned beef and sauerkraut provides perfect contrast to the well-toasted bread slices.

Yield: 4 Servings
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Difficulty Level: 1/5

Ingredients

• 8 thick slices sourdough bread
• 40 g butter, softened, for spreading
• ⅓ cup parmesan, finely grated
• 200 g corned beef, shaved
• ⅓ cup sauerkraut, drained
• 8 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsps seeded mustard
• 1 cup rocket leaves
• Dill pickles, to serve

Steps

01. Preheat sandwich press.

02. Butter all bread slices and sprinkle with parmesan. Place half slices on sandwich press, buttered-side- down.

03. Layer with corned beef, sauerkraut and cheddar. Spread unbuttered side of remaining bread slices with mustard. Sandwich together, buttered-side-up and close sandwich press.

04. Cook 4-5 mins until cheese melts and bread is well toasted. Add fresh rocket to each sandwich. Serve with pickles.

TIP: If you don't have a sandwich press, pan-fry in a large non-sticky frying pan, about 3 mins on each side.Photo: Rob Shaw/Bauer
