# Ingredients:

→ Sandwich Components

01 - 6 slices rye bread or sourdough bread
02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

05 - 0.5 cup cooked corned beef, thinly sliced or shredded

→ For Serving

07 - Thousand Island dressing, for dipping

# Steps:

01 - Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
02 - Arrange bread slices on a clean surface and evenly spread softened butter on one side of each slice. Spread Dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of desired slices.
03 - On half the bread slices, layer Swiss cheese, cooked corned beef, and a small amount of sauerkraut.
04 - Top with remaining bread slices, ensuring the buttered side faces outward.
05 - Cut each assembled sandwich into four equal quarters to form mini sandwiches.
06 - Transfer the mini sandwiches to the preheated skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
07 - Remove sandwiches from the skillet and allow to cool briefly before serving.
08 - Arrange on a serving platter and present Thousand Island dressing alongside for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - Drain and pat sauerkraut dry thoroughly to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
02 - Butter on the outer sides ensures a crisp crust and rich flavor.
