How to Make A Better Reuben Sandwich
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chili sauce, and 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish.
- Set aside.
- Spread one side of each slice of rye bread with butter.
- Generously spread the mayonnaise mixture on the other side of four slices of bread.
- Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese (about 1 ounce) on each of the four slices of bread, on top of the mayonnaise spread.
- Arrange 4-6 ounces of thinly sliced corned beef over the cheese.
- Top the corned beef with 1/2 cup sauerkraut.
- Place another slice of Swiss cheese (about 1 ounce) on top of the sauerkraut on each sandwich.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo-side down and butter-side up.
- Cook on a preheated griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
