Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 6 slices Corned beef
- 0.5 cup Sauerkraut
- 0.25 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese on the dressing-coated side of two slices of bread.
Divide the corned beef evenly between the two slices, placing it on top of the cheese.
Spread the sauerkraut evenly over the corned beef, then top each pile with another slice of Swiss cheese.
Place the remaining bread slices on top of the cheese, dressing-side inward, to form a sandwich.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of both sides of each sandwich.
Place one sandwich into the preheated waffle iron and close the lid gently, pressing slightly to compress the sandwich.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second sandwich.
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the waffle iron, slice in half, and serve immediately.
