Ingredients

Scale

Bread:

  • 8 slices rye bread

Butter:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)

Russian Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon grated or finely chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Filling:

  • 1 pound sliced (or shredded) corned beef
  • 1/2 pound sauerkraut (approximately 1 cup), drained

Instructions

  1. Make the Russian dressing: Stir all the dressing ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
  2. Assemble and grill the sandwiches: Butter one side of each bread slice. Spread Russian dressing on the other side of the bread. On half of the slices, layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Add more dressing if desired. Top with the remaining slices, dressing side down.
  3. Preheat skillet or panini press: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat or preheat a panini press.
  4. Grill the sandwiches: Place sandwiches in the skillet or press and grill for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Cut each sandwich in half and serve hot.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can lightly toast the bread before assembling the sandwiches.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing and hot sauce to suit your taste preferences.
