Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all your ingredients: rye bread, corned beef or turkey, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, dressing, and butter.

  2. 2

    Drain Sauerkraut

    Open the can of sauerkraut and drain it in a colander to remove excess liquid. Pat dry with paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a slice of rye bread, layer 2 oz of corned beef or turkey, followed by 1/4 cup of sauerkraut, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, and 1 tbs of dressing. Top with another slice of rye bread.

  2. 4

    Repeat for Second Sandwich

    Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich using the remaining ingredients.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Heat Butter

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbs of butter.

  2. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place one assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Use a spatula to press down slightly.

  3. 7

    Flip the Sandwich

    Carefully flip the sandwich and add the remaining tbs of butter to the skillet. Grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes, until golden and the cheese is melted.

  4. 8

    Repeat for Second Sandwich

    Remove the first sandwich from the skillet and repeat the grilling process for the second sandwich.

Serving

  1. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Once both sandwiches are grilled, slice them in half diagonally and serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.
