- 4 tsp. unsalted butter, softened
- 4 slices Rye & Pumpernickel Deli Swirl Bread
- 4 tbsp. Russian dressing
- ½ cup sauerkraut, drained
- 8 slices Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- ½ lb. corned beef, thinly sliced
Lightly butter one side of each rye bread slice with one teaspoon butter. Place two slices, buttered side down in a large skillet.
Spread one tablespoon of the Russian dressing on top of each each slice in the skillet. Top each slice with 2 slices Swiss cheese. Top the Swiss cheese with 1/4 cup sauerkraut. Top each sandwich evenly with the corned beef and then two more slices each of Swiss cheese.
Spread dry side of of second slices of bread with another tablespoon of Russian dressing and place it on top of the Swiss cheese buttered side up.
Grill the sandwiches over medium-low heat until both sides are lightly browned and cheese is melted and corned beef is heated through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
- I like to use lean corned beef from the deli counter for our sandwiches. I have them slice the corned beef nice and thin. I use about 6 or 7 slices per sandwich.
- I use two layers of Swiss cheese. Two slices at the bottom of the sandwich and two slices on top.
- You can enjoy your reuben sandwich hot or cold. We love ours grilled.
