Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Lay two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Spread 2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing evenly on the unbuttered side of each slice in the skillet.
Layer 3 ounces of corned beef on each slice of bread in the skillet.
Evenly distribute 1/2 cup of sauerkraut over the corned beef on each slice. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the sauerkraut.
Place two slices of Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut on each sandwich.
Top with the remaining slices of rye bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before cutting them in half. Serve immediately.
