So now it's time to get down to business...the nitty gritty of an amazing meal between two slices of bread. Be sure to have all of your ingredients gathered nearby...if you need a reminder here is the list from the shopping you did yesterday:
What You'll Need
fresh seedless rye bread
thousand island dressing
swiss cheese
thick sliced corned beef
sauerkraut
cracked black pepper
butter (for cooking)
Line up the bread and place 2-3 slices of swiss cheese, torn up, on each slice of bread and season with cracked pepper. Do not skimp on the cheese, as this acts as the glue to keep the sandwich together.
Spread a small amount of thousand island dressing on one side of the sandwich rows, and top with enough sliced corned beef to form a double layer and at a minimum cover the sandwich to the edges of the bread.
Top with more thousand island dressing on the corned beef side of the sandwich.
Top with enough sauerkraut on the corned beef side to leave a small amount of "squishing room" once the sandwich is pressed together.
Flip the cheese only side of the sandwich on top of the sandwich and squish down to compress.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium/medium low heat and add two sandwiches to the pan, one at a time.
Flip the two sandwiches within 30 seconds (it prevents burning on the first two sandwiches, not sure why but it really works!)
Then add the third sandwich, and adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning. Cover and allow to cook about 2 minutes.
Flip sandwiches and recover to finish cooking for another two minutes or so until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly toasty.
Remove from the pan and move to a plate and slice in half to serve immediately.
Follow these steps and the most amazing sandwich will be right at your fingertips before you know it. Enjoy!
