Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Rye bread
- 4 slices Corned beef
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.25 cup Sauerkraut
- 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 sheet Wax paper
Instructions
Spread half of the butter on one side of each slice of rye bread to lightly coat it.
Place one slice of bread butter-side down on a microwave-safe plate lined with a sheet of wax paper.
Layer the corned beef slices evenly on the bread, followed by the sauerkraut and Swiss cheese.
Spread Thousand Island dressing on the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread, then place it dressing-side down on top of the sandwich.
Cover the sandwich lightly with another sheet of wax paper to prevent messes but allow some ventilation.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check the sandwich and press down lightly to help the layers meld together.
Microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through. Be careful not to let the bread become too soggy.
Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute before cutting it in half and serving.
