Sandwich Components

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and place them on a clean work surface.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

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

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of rye bread, layer corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. Drizzle with Thousand Island dressing.

  2. 4

    Top the Sandwich

    Place another slice of rye bread on top of each sandwich, buttered side facing out.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Heat the Pan

    Preheat a skillet or a pan over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    Once heated, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Flip the Sandwich

    Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and grill the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden and the cheese has melted.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Once the sandwich is grilled to perfection, remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side.
