Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 8 ounces Corned beef, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Swiss cheese, sliced
- 1 cup Sauerkraut, drained
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons Russian dressing (or Thousand Island dressing)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. This will be the exterior of the sandwich and help create a golden, crispy surface when grilled.
Lay two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board or plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of each slice.
Evenly layer 2 ounces of corned beef on top of each slice, followed by 1/2 cup of drained sauerkraut, then 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each pile.
Spread another tablespoon of Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of the remaining slices of rye bread. Place these slices on top of the sandwiches, buttered side facing up.
Transfer the sandwiches to the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Once cooked, remove sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve immediately with pickles, chips, or your favorite side dish.
