Reuben Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Lay out all ingredients on a clean surface.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of thousand island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread. On two slices, layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of rye bread, dressing side down.

  3. 3

    Toast the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and add the remaining tablespoon of butter, grilling the other side for another 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crisp.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with additional thousand island dressing on the side if desired.
