Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all your ingredients and ensure the sauerkraut is drained properly to avoid sogginess in the sandwich.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior when grilling.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of rye bread, layer the corned beef evenly. Top with Swiss cheese, then add the drained sauerkraut. Finally, drizzle the Russian or Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut.

  2. 4

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining two slices of rye bread, buttered side facing out, to complete the sandwich assembly.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

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

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut in half and serve hot with extra dressing on the side, if desired.
