Ingredients
- 8 slices Rye bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 pound Corned beef
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cup Russian dressing
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
Butter one side of each slice of rye bread with approximately 1/2 tablespoon of butter, ensuring even coverage.
Step 3
On the non-buttered side of 4 slices, spread about 2 tablespoons of Russian dressing evenly.
Step 4
Layer 4 slices of Swiss cheese evenly on top of the Russian dressing.
Step 5
Add a generous layer of sliced corned beef over the cheese, evenly distributing 1 pound across the 4 sandwiches.
Step 6
Top the corned beef with an even layer of sauerkraut, approximately 1/4 cup per sandwich.
Step 7
Place the remaining slices of Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut.
Step 8
Complete the sandwich with the remaining slices of rye bread, buttered side facing outwards.
Step 9
Place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure an even toasting.
Step 10
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 11
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Step 12
Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve hot. Enjoy with a side of pickles or coleslaw if desired.
