This Griddled Rachel sandwich recipe is incredibly easy to make, as all it requires is a few slices of deli turkey, some tangy sauerkraut and Cabot Alpine Cheddar or Vermont Sharp Cheddar. Once all of the ingredients have been assembled, simply layer it all between two slices of perfectly toasted rye bread—what a delicious feast!

Grilled cheese sandwiches are fun and easy to make, but sometimes it’s nice to try a little something different. With only a bit of sliced turkey, dill pickle relish, sauerkraut, two ounces of Cabot Alpine Cheddar and two tablespoons of Cabot Unsalted Butter (for a little extra flavor!), you can transform that regular old grilled cheese into a flavorful Griddled Rachel sandwich.
When grilling up this delicious sandwich, make sure to use a griddle or stainless steel skillet. A cast-iron skillet is even better too. Grill the sandwich over medium-low heat, and cook the sandwich until it’s perfectly golden on both sides. This Rachel sandwich is a great one to serve at get-togethers or family lunches, and it’s pretty rich and satisfying too. It makes two servings, and it also works well with a nice side dish of healthy vegetables or crunchy greens. This recipe works with Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar or Cabot Monterey Jack too if Cabot Alpine Cheddar is unavailable.
