I can’t get enough of rye bread recently! Its robust flavor and satisfying texture are fantastic.
Here’s a list with 10 recipes that let rye shine, with something to please every palate. From creamy grilled cheeses to fish and veggie delights, there is lots of goodness here!
1. Ultimate Veggie Crunch Sandwich
That ideal veggie crunch sandwich requires crisp veggies, in my view.
I’m alluding to tomatoes, cabbage, peppers and bean sprouts. For a moist sandwich that I will crave often, I like a Thousand Island dressing and tangy mustard.
You can’t go wrong if you create this savory sandwich that you will make often. It’s super scrumptious, that is for sure!
2. Reuben Sandwich
I get excited just looking at that photograph!
With salty sauerkraut and Swiss, what else could you ask for with flavor-packed corned beef atop rye bread? You can’t forget a creamy, tangy Russian dressing.
No doubt about it, this sandwich is exceptional. Grab that rye and get to it, friends!
3. Bacon & Egg Salad on Rye Toast
You don’t need sourdough, since rye is just what you need to create your next great brunch!
This bacon and egg salad on rye is overflowing with mouthwatering flavors. It’s also irresistible thanks to a dressing with garlic, lemon zest, dijon, and mayonnaise.
You can’t go wrong with salty bacon and eggs. That base of tasty toast seals the deal, for sure!
4. Turkey Cran Rye Sandwich
Are you bored of the usual holiday meal remakes?
Grab some rye bread for this fantastic turkey and cranberry creation! The mix of savory, sweet, and a rush of spice is exceptional.
Every mouthful is better than the last with horseradish mayo, meaty turkey, and cranberry sauce. That Muenster cheese seals the deal, of course!
5. Chipotle Mayo Sardines on Rye
This rye dish with chipotle mayo and sardines is so quick and easy with remarkable flavor.
With a creamy dressing, the salty sardines are amped up by the heat from chipotle peppers. Until they blister, bake or air fry a few tomatoes.
Pile up those ingredients, people! This elevates standard toast, indeed.
6. Patty Melts
Oh my goodness, patty melts are comforting, nostalgic, and oh-so filling!
They are just what I need, the best of a burger and a sandwich together without that heavy bun. The hamburger is exceptionally delicious and juicy, and those savory tastes stand out so well with cheese and sautéed onions.
The ideal base for this tasty and thick burger is crispy rye, of course!
7. Danish Open-Faced Sandwich
All around Scandinavia, you will see these open-faced choices.
This particular option is a tradition all its own. For its deliciousness and great aroma, don’t forget the lemon juice and dill!
Since the rye has so much to offer as a base, it needs to hold herbs, cucumbers, radishes, and a rich dressing with herring. I’m on board!
8. Avocado Sandwich
I need to share that you don’t just have to use rye for meaty options!
With crunchy texture and a whole lot of color, this avocado dish is loaded with tasty veggies and flavor. You can add bacon if you want.
With or without cheese that is dairy-free, slathering some aioli to amplify flavor can’t hurt. This avocado dish excites me!
9. Corned Beef on Rye with Guinness Braised Onions
I want to share that this dish is incredible.
You will use that recipe from above, much like the Reuben, with lots of tasty corned beef and melty white cheddar. But in place of sauerkraut, you should be sure to add a generous helping of Guinness-braised onions.
Truly, don’t skimp with the slightly sweet and rich helping of Guinness braised onions that takes this to the next level!
