Reuben Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the bread

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.

  3. 3

    Cook the sandwich

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
