Ingredients
Sandwich
- 8 slices rye bread
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 3/4 lb corned beef
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 1/4 cup Russian dressing (see below)
Russian Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp horseradish
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Russian Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and paprika until well combined. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Butter one side of each rye bread slice. Spread the Russian dressing on the non-buttered side of each slice. On half of the slices, layer Swiss cheese, corned beef, and sauerkraut. Top with remaining slices of bread, dressing side down, to form sandwiches.
- Cook Sandwiches: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, press the sandwich lightly with a spatula while cooking.
- Use freshly shredded sauerkraut to avoid excess moisture.
- Feel free to substitute Russian dressing with Thousand Island dressing if preferred.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
