Step 1
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Lay two slices buttered-side down on a cutting board.
Step 2
Spread 1 tbsp Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of each bottom slice.
Step 3
Layer corned beef and sauerkraut on each bottom slice, dividing evenly.
Step 4
Top with one Swiss cheese slice per sandwich, then place second bread slice buttered-side up on top.
Step 5
Heat a skillet over medium-high until the surface shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 6
Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Flip and cook for 2–3 minutes more until the second side browns and cheese melts fully.
Step 8
Transfer to a plate. Let rest 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve hot.
