Ingredients
8 slices rye bread
1 pound corned beef, thinly sliced
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
1/4 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of rye bread.
- Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the griddle.
- Spread dressing evenly over the non-buttered side of the bread.
- Layer Swiss cheese, corned beef, and sauerkraut on top of the dressing.
- Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese melts.
- Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispiness, use a panini press or press down with a heavy pan while grilling.
Substitutions: Swap Swiss cheese for cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack.
Spicy version: Add spicy mustard or sriracha before adding the cheese.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
