Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. Drain the sauerkraut and pat it dry with a paper towel to reduce excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay two slices of light rye bread on a flat surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on each slice. Layer with corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Toast the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwiches, add the remaining butter, and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half, and serve hot with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side.
