🥪 Classic Liverwurst Sandwich

A hearty old-fashioned sandwich made with creamy liverwurst, tangy mustard, crisp pickles, and fresh onion on hearty seeded bread. Simple, filling, and packed with nostalgic deli-style flavor.

Ingredients

Makes 2 sandwiches

• 8 slices rye, seeded rye, or country-style bread
• 8 oz liverwurst, sliced about ¼-inch thick
• 2–3 tbsp yellow mustard
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• ¼ small yellow or white onion, very thinly sliced
• ½ cup dill pickle slices
• 2–3 lettuce leaves, optional
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp softened butter, optional

Instructions

1. Prepare the bread:
   Lay the bread slices on a clean work surface. Lightly butter them if desired.
2. Add the condiments:
   Spread mayonnaise on one side of the bread and yellow mustard on the other.
3. Layer the liverwurst:
   Arrange the liverwurst slices generously over the bread. For a sandwich like the one pictured, don’t be shy with the liverwurst—use a thick layer.
4. Add the toppings:
   Top with thinly sliced onion and plenty of dill pickle slices. Add lettuce if desired and season lightly with black pepper.
5. Close the sandwich:
   Place the second slice of bread on top and gently press the sandwich together.
6. Slice and serve:
   Cut each sandwich in half and serve with extra pickle slices on the side.

🥒 Optional Deli-Style Upgrade

For extra flavor, mix 1 tablespoon mayonnaise + 1 teaspoon yellow mustard + 1 teaspoon pickle juice and spread it on the bread. You can also add a few thin slices of tomato or a sprinkle of paprika.

Tip

For the best texture, chill the liverwurst before slicing. Thinly sliced onion and crisp, cold dill pickles provide a nice contrast to the rich, creamy liverwurst.
