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:

1. Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your griddle or a large skillet over medium heat.
2. 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.
3. Butter the Bread: Spread the softened butter on the outside of each sandwich slice (both top and bottom slices).
4. 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.
5. 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.
