Ingredients

• 4 slices Rye bread
• 2 Sausages (mild or spicy, your choice)
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 cup Sauerkraut
• 0.25 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Cook the sausages in the skillet, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked through. Once done, slice each sausage in half lengthwise and set aside.

Step 3

Warm the sauerkraut in a small saucepan or microwave for 1-2 minutes and set aside.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.

Step 5

Assemble the sandwich by layering one slice of Swiss cheese, two sausage halves, 1/2 cup of sauerkraut, and another slice of Swiss cheese onto two of the bread slices (on the side with the dressing). Top with the remaining bread slices, dressing side down.

Step 6

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and toasted. Press gently on the sandwiches with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 7

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Remove from skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
