INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

First of all, melt the beef fat and then brush the sourdough all over on both sides (with a pastry brush).

Step 2

Then lay the beef fat brushed bread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread the mustard over the faces of the bread.

Step 3

Next lay on a generous amount of pastrami and Swiss cheese, then divide the sauerkraut over the top of the cheese.

Step 4

Finally lay on the sliced gherkin and crispy onions.

Step 5

Pop on the lid of the sandwich and then lay a second sheet of parchment on top.

Step 6

Then place a second tray or a heavy pan on top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 170 C. This will allow the cheese to melt and the bread to be crispy.

Step 7

Once baked remove from the oven and place onto a chopping board. Cut the sandwich in half and serve straight away.
