👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Spread the butter on the outside of slice the bread.
    💡The butter goes on the outside, the side that meets the pan: it's what gives the bread its golden, crisp crust.
  2. 2
    Mix the mayonnaise and tomato paste into a sauce and spread it on the inside of slice the bread.
  3. 3
    Place the yellow cheese, meat and sauerkraut on half of slice the bread and cover each one with another slice, buttered side out.
  4. 4
    Heat a heavy pan over medium heat.
    StoveFrying pan
  5. 5
    Grill the sandwiches 3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted completely.

    💡Medium heat, not high: the bread browns at the same pace the cheese melts, while over high heat it burns outside before the cheese inside melts.
