Step 1
Spread dressing on two slices of rye bread, 1 tbsp on each. Layer corned beef, then sauerkraut, then 2 cheese slices on each.
Step 2
Top each with remaining rye slice, dressing-side down. Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of both bread slices.
Step 3
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until warm. Place both sandwiches in the skillet.
Step 4
Cook 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
Step 5
Flip each sandwich carefully. Cook 3 minutes more until the second side is golden and cheese is fully melted.
Step 6
Transfer to a cutting board. Let sit 1 minute so the cheese sets slightly, then serve hot.
