Toasted Reuben Ingredients

Method

Toasted Reuben Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and butter.

  2. 2

    Assemble the sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread. On the un-dressed side, layer 2 oz of corned beef, 1/4 cup of sauerkraut, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of rye bread, dressing side down.

  3. 3

    Butter the bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outer sides of each sandwich to ensure a crispy crust.

  4. 4

    Grill the sandwich

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Flip and finish cooking

    Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side.
