Ingredients

• 4 slices Rye bread
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 8 ounces Corned beef
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 cup Sauerkraut
• 4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
• 4 slices Dill pickle slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven broiler to high.

Step 2

Lightly butter one side of each slice of rye bread and place them, buttered-side down, on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Pile 2 ounces of corned beef on each slice of bread, spreading it evenly.

Step 4

Add approximately 1/4 cup of sauerkraut on top of the corned beef, spreading it out but leaving a small border around the edge of the bread.

Step 5

Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut on each sandwich.

Step 6

Broil the open-faced sandwiches under the preheated broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the sandwiches from the oven and drizzle 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing over each one.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with a dill pickle slice for an extra tangy kick before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Open-Faced Reubens!
