Really the amounts are only a guideline, you may use as much as desired, my family loves them piled high, amounts are for one sandwich --- if desired you could toast 2 slices of bread and make it into a sandwich, use the largest slice of pumpernickle for this! --- see my recipe#188009

Time 8m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 slice dark rye pumpernickel bread
1 tablespoon soft butter
1/4 lb shaved pastrami or 1/4 lb corned beef
2 -3 ounces sauerkraut, drained
thousand island dressing (use any amount desired) or Russian salad dressing (use any amount desired)
2 slices swiss cheese (can use mozzarealla but Swiss is better)

Steps:

Toast the bread in a toaster until lightly golden brown, then spread butter over one side.
Pile the meat on top of the bread, then the sauerkraut on top of the meat.
Drizzle the dressing generously over the sauerkraut allowing some to spill over the sides of the sandwich.
Place the cheese slices completely over the top (the cheese should melt over the sides of the sandwich).
Set oven to broiler heat.
Broil for about 2-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Serve warm with more dressing if desired.
Serve sandwich on a plate with knife and fork.

Tips:

Use good quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich. Look for fresh, ripe apples, high-quality pastrami, and a flavorful apple butter.
Don't skimp on the butter: The butter helps to toast the bread and adds a delicious richness to the sandwich. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the sandwich.
Toast the bread until it's golden brown and crispy: This will help to hold the sandwich together and give it a nice texture.
Layer the ingredients carefully: Start with the bread, then add the apple butter, pastrami, cheese, and apples. Make sure to spread the apple butter evenly so that every bite has a bit of sweetness.
Serve the sandwich immediately: This is the best way to enjoy the sandwich while it's still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

The open-faced apple butter pastrami sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its sweet and savory flavors, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new sandwich to try, give this one a try.
