How to Make Waffle Iron Reuben Sandwich Emeril Lagasse

  1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the iron with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, and 1/4 of the Swiss cheese, mixing gently.
  3. Lay out two slices of rye bread on a clean surface. Spread half of the sauerkraut mixture evenly on each slice.
  4. Top each slice of bread with approximately 1/2 cup of thinly sliced corned beef.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese evenly over the corned beef.
  6. Top each with the remaining rye bread slices.
  7. Carefully place one sandwich in the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check frequently to prevent burning.
  8. Carefully remove the sandwich from the waffle iron using tongs or spatula. Repeat with the second sandwich.
  9. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
