👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions


1

Step 1

Prepare the Bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.


2

Step 2

Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice, evenly spread the Russian dressing. Layer the corned beef over the dressing, followed by the sauerkraut distribution, and finally sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese atop.


3

Step 3

Add Toppings: If using, sprinkle the caraway seeds evenly over the cheese for an extra burst of flavor. Place the second slice of bread (butter side up) on top to complete the sandwich.


4

Step 4

Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden and crispy.


5

Step 5

Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, pressing down slightly. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the second side is equally crispy and the cheese has melted.


6

Step 6

Serve: Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and place on a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute before slicing in half. If desired, sprinkle with finely chopped chives for garnish.


7

Step 7

Enjoy! Serve the Reuben sandwich warm with a side of pickles or potato chips for a classic touch.
