Griddle Rueben’s
Griddle Reuben Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients:
- 8 slices rye bread
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 pound thinly sliced corned beef
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
- 1/2 cup Russian dressing (or Thousand Island dressing)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
- Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your griddle or a large skillet over medium heat.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out the slices of rye bread on a clean surface.
- Spread a thin layer of Russian dressing on each slice of bread.
- On half of the bread slices, place a slice of Swiss cheese.
- Add an even layer of corned beef on top of the cheese.
- Top the corned beef with a portion of sauerkraut.
- Place another slice of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut.
- Complete each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.
- Butter the Bread: Spread the softened butter on the outside of each sandwich slice (both top and bottom slices).
- Grill the Sandwiches:
- Place the sandwiches on the preheated griddle.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the griddle and let them cool for a minute. Cut each sandwich in half and serve hot.
Tips:
- Russian Dressing Substitute: If you can’t find Russian dressing, Thousand Island dressing works well as a substitute.
- Sauerkraut: Make sure to drain and squeeze the sauerkraut well to avoid making the sandwich soggy.
- Corned Beef: For best results, use high-quality corned beef from a deli.
Enjoy your homemade Reuben sandwiches!
