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

Directions

Step 1

Spread half of the butter on one side of each slice of rye bread to lightly coat it.

Step 2

Place one slice of bread butter-side down on a microwave-safe plate lined with a sheet of wax paper.

Step 3

Layer the corned beef slices evenly on the bread, followed by the sauerkraut and Swiss cheese.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Cover the sandwich lightly with another sheet of wax paper to prevent messes but allow some ventilation.

Step 6

Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check the sandwich and press down lightly to help the layers meld together.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute before cutting it in half and serving.
