Step 1
Spread 1 tbsp dressing on each of two rye bread slices. Layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese on each slice.
Step 2
Top each sandwich with the remaining rye bread slices, dressing-side down, to form complete sandwiches.
Step 3
Butter the outside of both bread slices on each sandwich with 0.5 tbsp softened butter per side.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles on contact, place sandwiches in the pan.
Step 5
Toast the first side until deep golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes without moving.
Step 6
Flip carefully and toast the second side until golden and cheese is melted inside, about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer to a cutting board. Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while hot.
