Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices rye bread
- 1 lb corned beef, sliced
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 1/2 cup remoulade sauce
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by slicing the corned beef thinly and draining the sauerkraut completely. Allow ingredients to come to near room temperature for even cooking.
- Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. This will create a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
- On the non-buttered side of 4 bread slices, spread a generous layer of remoulade sauce, covering the entire surface evenly.
- Layer the ingredients on the prepared bread slices in this order: - One slice of Swiss cheese - Approximately 1/4 pound of sliced corned beef - 1/4 cup of drained sauerkraut - Another slice of Swiss cheese
- Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Ensure the surface is evenly heated to prevent burning.
- Place the assembled sandwiches on the heated surface and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
- Press down gently with a spatula during cooking to help compress the sandwich and ensure even grilling.
- Remove from heat, let rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let your ingredients sit at near room temperature before assembling to ensure even cooking and melting.
- Butter Technique: Spread butter evenly and thinly on the bread's exterior – this is the secret to achieving that perfect golden, crispy crust.
- Cheese Melting Hack: To ensure your Swiss cheese melts completely, consider covering the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking.
- Pressing Technique: Gently press the sandwich while grilling to create a compact, well-integrated flavor profile.
- Serve Immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and crispy right off the griddle, so time your serving carefully.
- Remoulade Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, try making your own homemade remoulade sauce for a truly gourmet experience.
