Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing evenly on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Place 2 ounces of corned beef onto the uncoated side of two slices of bread.
Top the corned beef with 2 slices of Swiss cheese (1 slice per sandwich).
Evenly distribute 1/2 cup of sauerkraut over the cheese on each sandwich.
Close each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, ensuring the Thousand Island-coated sides are facing inward, touching the sauerkraut.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outside of the top slice of bread for each sandwich.
Place the sandwiches butter-side down onto the hot skillet, then spread the remaining butter on the other exposed sides of the sandwiches.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat, slice them in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Reuben Sandwich with Sauerkraut!
