Bread and Fillings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and set them out on a clean work surface.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread. On the non-dressed side of 2 slices, layer the corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut.

  3. 3

    Top and Grill

    Place the other two slices of bread on top of the assembled sandwiches, dressing side facing up. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter if desired. Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the heat, slice in half if desired, and serve hot with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side.
