Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauerkraut

    Drain and rinse the sauerkraut in a colander under cold running water to reduce the saltiness. Set aside to drain well.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the unbuttered side of 4 slices of rye bread, layer the corned beef evenly, followed by the drained sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and a generous drizzle of Russian dressing.

  2. 4

    Top the Sandwich

    Top each assembled sandwich with the remaining slices of rye bread, buttered side facing up.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Grill the Sandwiches

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

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Cut in half and serve with additional Russian dressing on the side, if desired.
