Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 slices sour dough bread
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp thousand island dressing
  • 4 slices swiss cheese
  • 1/2 pound corned beef sliced
  • 1/4 cup sauerkraut

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, melt butter in a skillet
  • Spread mayonnaise on the outside of each slice of bread
  • Spread thousand island dressing on the inside of each slice of bread
  • Put one slice of bread, mayonnaise side down in the skillet
  • Put 2 pieces of cheese on the bread
  • Top with corned beef
  • Add sauerkraut on top of corned beef
  • Top with 2 slices of cheese
  • Put second slice of bread on top with mayonnaise side up
  • Toast about 5 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted

Notes

Because sour dough bread toasts up so nicely on the outside while retaining a good chew on the inside, it is a great choice of bread for any toasted sandwich.
For the perfect crunch on any toasted sandwich, spread the outside of the bread with mayonnaise instead of butter, and melt some butter in your pan before toasting the sandwich.
When making a toasted sandwich, use cheese as a barrier between the bread and the sandwich fillings to keep the bread from getting soggy.
