Ingredients
01
4 slices dark pumpernickel bread.
02
2 tablespoons Russian Dressing.
03
4 ounces Gouda cheese, sliced.
04
8 ounces beef kielbasa sausage.
05
1/2 cup sauerkraut, well drained.
06
2 tablespoons butter.
Instructions
Step 01
Warm the beef kielbasa on a grill or pan until crisp and fully heated. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Step 02
Arrange the pumpernickel slices on a clean surface and evenly distribute the Gouda cheese over each slice.
Step 03
Spread Russian dressing on top of the cheese-covered bread slices.
Step 04
Place the drained sauerkraut on two of the cheese-covered slices.
Step 05
Slice the cooked kielbasa diagonally into ¼ inch pieces and place them on the remaining cheese-covered slices.
Step 06
Preheat a flat griddle over medium heat and melt the butter across the surface.
Step 07
Once the butter is bubbly and slightly browned, place each bread slice toppings-side up on the pan, covering loosely with foil.
Step 08
Cook on medium heat to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly without overly browning the bread.
Step 09
Once the cheese has melted, assemble the sandwiches by placing the sauerkraut-topped slices on top of the kielbasa-topped slices.
Step 10
Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add a slice of dill pickle or a dash of horseradish to the sandwich before assembling.
- This sandwich pairs well with a side of potato salad or a crisp dill pickle spear.
