Ingredients

1½ lb corned beef slab, pre-cooked and sliced thinly

1 loaf bread, preferably rye loaf, sliced into 1-inch thick slices

⅔ lb emmental or gruyere cheese, grated

5 tbsp sauerkraut, canned or bottled, drained

5 tbsp thousand island dressing

unsalted butter, at room temperature for spreading

Preparation

Mix the sauerkraut and the thousand islands dressing together in a bowl.

Toast your bread, then spread butter on one side on each slice of bread.

Spread each of the sandwiches with roughly 1 tablespoon of butter on the top slice and roughly 2 tablespoons of the sauerkraut dressing mixture on the other side.

Layer roughly 3 ounces of corned beef and 2 ounces cheese per sandwich, then briefly broil in the oven just until the cheese has melted.

Cover with the top slice and serve!
