Grilled Reubens
This American classic can be made on
your Griddler ™ Panini & Sandwich Press.
Makes 2 sandwiches
½
cup sauerkraut
4 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
4 slices rye or pumpernickel bread
2 tablespoons prepared fat free or
regular Thousand Island or
Russian dressing, divided
3 ounces reduced fat sliced Swiss
or Jarlsberg cheese
4 ounces thinly sliced corned beef
spicy mustard
Rinse the sauerkraut and drain. Press out all
water and place on a triple thickness of paper
towels. Preheat the Cuisinart ® Griddler ™ Panini &
Sandwich Press while assembling sandwiches.
Brush one side of each slice of bread with
softened butter. Place 2 slices bread on work
surface buttered side down. Spread each slice
with dressing. Layer each with ½ ounce sliced
cheese, 2 ounces corned beef, 3 tablespoons
sauerkraut, and the remaining cheese. Top with
the remaining bread, buttered side up.
Arrange the sandwiches evenly spaced on the
bottom griddle plate. Close Griddler ™ Panini &
Sandwich Press and apply medium pressure
for 10 seconds. Grill/bake until bread is toasty,
filling is warm and cheese is melted, about 4 to
5 minutes. Serve warm with mustard.
Tip: For a change, use cocktail rye bread to
make Grilled Reubens – these are great for a
casual gathering. Cooking time will be reduced
as cocktail rye bread is quite thin.
