Reuben Sandwich

A Reuben sandwich is a variation of an American grilled sandwich. It is made to be a meal and will be quite thick. This is a very tasty treat, but could require that you prepare a number of other dishes first. Such as sauerkraut, Russian dressing and corned beef.

Ingredients

Vary these based on the number of sandwich’s that you intend to make. There is a lot of flexibility with the volumes, so feel free to experiment.

Instructions

Lay the two slices of bread out and butter both pieces.

Onto one of the pieces of bread layer the following;

• Cheese
• Corned beef
• Russian dressing
• Sauerkraut (wring as much of the brine out of it as practical)
• Cheese (again)

Now place the bread (butter side down) onto the stack. At this point it is pretty much a sandwich without the toasting.

So that you can toast the bread with butter, while the sandwich is on the bench, spread butter onto the top piece. Then carefully flip the entire thing and place it butter side down onto a frying pan on a medium-high heat.

While it’s in the pan, carefully butter the newly exposed top of the sandwich.

Once the bottom is a nice golden brown, carefully rotate the entire thing so that you are toasting the other side.

Once the second side is browned, you should be seeing some cheese melting in the sandwich which is a good sign that you are on the right track.

Enjoy!
