Ingredients
- 8 slices Rye bread
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 pound Corned beef
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 0.5 cup Russian dressing
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Step 3
Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
Step 4
Spread a tablespoon of Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread in the skillet.
Step 5
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese, a portion of corned beef, 1/4 cup of sauerkraut, and another slice of Swiss cheese on top of each piece of bread in the skillet.
Step 6
Spread Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of the remaining 4 slices of bread and place them dressing-side down on top of the sandwiches in the skillet.
Step 7
Press sandwiches lightly with a spatula to flatten them slightly and ensure even grilling.
Step 8
Cook sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning, until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Carefully flip each sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bread is crisp and the cheese has fully melted.
Step 10
Remove sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half, and serve immediately.
