Print Recipe

A hearty and tangy sandwich featuring corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and homemade Russian dressing on toasted marble rye bread. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any cozy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices marble rye bread
  • 12 oz thinly sliced corned beef
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 1/2 cup Russian dressing (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Pickles, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Russian dressing by whisking together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Set aside.
  2. Drain the sauerkraut in a fine mesh strainer, pressing gently to remove excess liquid.
  3. Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of marble rye bread; this will be the outside of the sandwich.
  4. On the unbuttered side of 4 bread slices, spread about 2 tablespoons of Russian dressing evenly.
  5. Layer 3 oz thinly sliced corned beef, 1/4 cup drained sauerkraut, and 2 slices Swiss cheese on each slice with dressing.
  6. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
  7. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  8. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  9. Flip carefully using a spatula to avoid losing fillings; adjust heat if bread browns too quickly.
  10. Remove sandwiches from pan and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing in half.

Notes

Drain sauerkraut well to prevent soggy bread. Use softened butter for an even golden crust. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning bread before cheese melts. Rest sandwiches before slicing to keep fillings intact. Store-bought Thousand Island dressing can substitute homemade Russian dressing.
