Instructions
- Heat large griddle or skillet to medium high.
- Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, caraway seed and sauerkraut together in small bowl.
- Cut or tear cheese slices to fit bread slices.
- Spread 24 slices of the bread with the sauerkraut mixture. Add shaved pastrami and cheese slices. Top with remaining bread slices. Butter both sides of sandwiches, if desired.
- Place sandwiches on griddle or in skillet, until brown, about 1 minute. Turn and brown on other side. Serve immediately, or move to cooling rack to cool completely.
