Ingredient Highlights

Caraway Seeds: Lightly toasting them enhances their warm, nutty aroma, reminiscent of classic rye bread.
Corned Beef: Salty, savory, and perfectly tender—it’s the heart of this sandwich.
Sautéed Cabbage & Onion: Adds sweetness and depth while keeping the sandwich from feeling too heavy.
Swiss Cheese: Creamy, nutty, and melts beautifully for that perfect grilled cheese pull.
Dijon Mustard: A punch of acidity balances the richness of the beef and cheese.

Pro Tips for the Best Grilled Cheese

Cook the cabbage slowly: Letting it caramelize enhances its natural sweetness.
Use medium-low heat: This ensures the bread crisps up evenly while allowing the cheese to melt completely.
Press the sandwich gently: This helps achieve even browning and a perfect crisp.
Try adding a pickle on the side: The acidity cuts through the richness for a more balanced bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cheese?

Yes! Gruyère or sharp cheddar would also work well for a slightly bolder flavor.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

A quick toast in a skillet over low heat revives the crispness without drying out the filling.
