Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to remove excess liquid.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. These will be the outer sides of the sandwich.
Step 3
Place two slices of rye bread, buttered side down, on a clean working surface or cutting board.
Step 4
Spread 2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread you just placed down.
Step 5
Layer 4 ounces of corned beef evenly over the dressing on each slice of bread.
Step 6
Add a layer of 1/2 cup sauerkraut on top of the corned beef for each sandwich.
Step 7
Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut for each sandwich.
Step 8
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of rye bread, buttered side facing up.
Step 9
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches into the skillet or pan.
Step 10
Cook each sandwich for 3-5 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure good contact between the bread and pan. The bread should turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 12
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half if desired, and serve immediately.
