1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients needed for the Toasted Ruben.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Take 2 slices of rye bread and spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on each slice. Layer 4 oz of corned beef on one slice, followed by ½ cup of sauerkraut, and top with 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
3
Butter the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each slice of the sandwich.
4
Toast the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
5
Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the sandwich over and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Toast the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
6
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
