MONTREAL REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Place buttered-sides down on the preheated skillet. Place 1 1/2 pieces of Swiss cheese on top of each bread slice, then spread Thousand Island on top.
• While sandwich halves are toasting, place corned beef on one side of a microwave-safe plate and sauerkraut on the other side. Cover with a dampened paper towel and microwave on high for 90 seconds.
• Remove bread from the skillet. Add hot corned beef and sauerkraut and close to form a sandwich.
• Serve with dill pickle.

REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat.
• 2. Lightly butter one side of bread slices. Spread non-buttered sides with Thousand Island dressing. On 4 bread slices, layer 1 slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut and second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered sides out.
• 3. Grill sandwiches until both sides are golden brown, about 15 minutes per side. Serve hot.
• My Update Notes: I drained the sourkraut but didn't rinse it, because we like the tangy taste of the sourkraut. I buttered rye bread slices on one side and spread Thousand Island dressing on the other side. On the dressing side I placed a slice of swiss cheese, sliced Pastrami from the deli and then topped with sourkraut. I cooked them on my grill until the cheese was melted and the bread was nice and toasted. They were delicious! I only gave the four star rating because the sourkraut in the middle wasn't very warm. Next time I make these I will warm the sourkraut in the microwave first and maybe add another slice of swiss too! I made was to heat the sauerkraut in the microwave for 20 seconds before adding to the sandwich. I like my sandwich warmed all the way through. I would recommend keeping a good eye on your bread and toast it to your liking. If you like Rueben sandwiches you will love this one!
