Ingredients

  • 4 slices rye bread
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup Russian dressing
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami
  • 1 cup sauerkraut drained and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup 4 oz grated Swiss cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • Spread each slice of bread generously with a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, then spread the Russian dressing. Divide the corned beef on two slices of bread and top with each sandwich with half of the sauerkraut. Heap half of the grated cheese on each sandwich. Place the other slice of bread on each. sandwich. Butter both sandwiches and place buttered side down on a hot griddle or skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  • Flip the sandwiches over and toast an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and crisp.

Notes

  • We are basing the amounts of the ingredients on a large 16 oz. loaf of rye bread.  If using smaller slices you will need to downsize the ingredients.  
  • To keep the sandwich from being soggy, squeeze the excess liquid from the sauerkraut
  • Grating the cheese ensures that the cheese melts quickly and evenly.
