Sandwich Components

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients needed for the sandwich: marble rye bread, lean corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and butter.

  2. 2

    Drain the Sauerkraut

    Open the can or jar of sauerkraut and drain it thoroughly to remove excess liquid. This will prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter generously on one side of each slice of marble rye bread.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place 2 slices of bread butter-side down on a clean surface. Layer with half of the corned beef, half of the sauerkraut, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each. Top with the remaining corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese, then finish with the other 2 slices of bread butter-side up.

  3. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Allow them to cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve immediately with your choice of pickles or chips.
