4 slices thick white country loaf, sourdough or rye bread
2 thick cut slices cooked salt beef (warmed in a little stock)
2 tbls sauerkraut gently warmed through
100g Gruyere or Emmenthal cheese
1 tsp. plain flour
10g butter plus extra to fry
100ml warm full fat milk
1 tbls mayonnaise
1 tbls ketchup
1 tsp. horseradish
1 tsp. French mustard
Few drops Worcestershire sauce
Salt & pepper to season
Sliced gherkins to serve
Make the relish by simply stirring together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, horseradish and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce and keep to one side
Next make the cheese sauce by melting the butter and flour together over a medium heat, then gradually whisk in the milk to create a thick white sauce followed by the cheese. Season to taste and keep warm.
To assemble
Shallow fry the bread in melted butter until golden.
Spoon the sauerkraut between two slices of fried bread, followed by the salt beef, top with the cheese sauce, then finally a dollop of the relish. Sandwich together and eat straight away with sliced gherkin.
