Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly butter one side of each slice of rye bread and place them on a baking sheet, buttered side down.
Evenly distribute the corned beef across the slices of bread, layering it generously.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the sauerkraut for 3-4 minutes until heated through. If using caraway seeds, stir them into the sauerkraut for added flavor.
Spoon the warmed sauerkraut on top of the corned beef, spreading it out evenly.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each sandwich, ensuring it covers the sauerkraut layer.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and begun to bubble.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle or spread the Thousand Island dressing over each sandwich.
Serve warm with a knife and fork. Enjoy your open-faced Reuben!
