Ingredients
- 16 pieces Mini rye bread slices
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each mini rye bread slice.
Step 3
Divide the corned beef into 16 portions and place a portion on top of 8 slices of the rye bread (the side with the dressing).
Step 4
Add a heaping tablespoon of sauerkraut on top of the corned beef.
Step 5
Cut the Swiss cheese slices in half and place a half slice on top of the sauerkraut on each sandwich.
Step 6
Top each sandwich with another piece of rye bread, dressing side down, to close the sandwich.
Step 7
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the heated skillet or griddle. Place the sandwiches in the skillet in batches, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly.
Step 8
Toast the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Add more butter as needed for additional batches.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Cut each sandwich in half for a more appetizer-sized serving if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your Little Reubens!
