Reuben Panini

These hot grilled sandwich offers all the traditional Reuben-on-rye flavors

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 8  slices  rye bread or 8  slices  pumpernickel bread
• 1⁄2 cup  thousand island dressing
• 12  ounces  sliced corned beef
• 2  cups sauerkraut
• 8  slices swiss cheese
• 1⁄4 cup  soft butter

Directions

1. Spread the dressing on one side of each bread slice.
2. Divide the corned beef among four of the dressed bread slices. Evenly distribute the sauerkraut over the meat, and top with two slices of cheese per sandwich.
3. Place the remaining dressed slices of bread dressing-side-down onto the cheese.
4. Preheat an electric Panini griddle; or heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Spread the top of each sandwich with butter and place them butter-side down onto the hot surface; you'll probably need to work in batches.
6. Spread butter on the other side of each sandwich, then close the griddle, or cover the panini with a heavy lid, flipping to grill on both sides.
