Yield: 2 Sandwiches
Ingredients for Russian Dressing:
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 Tbsp. pickle relish
- 2 tsp. yellow mustard
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. paprika
Directions:
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 4 slices rye sandwich bread
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- ½ lb. corned beef, sliced
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- Make the Russian dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and paprika.
- Make the sandwich: On a cutting board, spread ½ tablespoon of butter on one side of each piece of bread. Flip the bread slices over so that the buttered side is face down. Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on each slice.
- Add ¼ pound corned beef to two of the slices of bread. Top the corned beef with ½ cup of sauerkraut and two slices of Swiss cheese. Place the other slices of bread on top, buttered side out.
- Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add the sandwiches and cook, without moving, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until the bread is golden brown and cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half. Serve immediately.
