Reuben Panini

Directions

1. 1
   It is a tradition in our home to make these every St. Pattys Day.
2. 2
   It is also great served with a big bowl of potato soup, and for those of you over 21, a bottle of Guinness finishes it off nicely!
3. 3
   Preheat the panini grill to high heat.
4. 4
   Spread butter onto all slices of bread.
5. 5
   Turn over the slices (non-buttered side up) and spread a layer of Thousand Island dressing on each slice.
6. 6
   Next thing you need to do is place a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of bread.
7. 7
   Place a generous amount of sauerkraut (be sure to drain off as much liquid as possible) on what will be the top of each of your sandwiches, and a generous helping of corned beef on what will be the bottom.
8. 8
   Put all the top and bottom pieces together.
9. 9
   You should now have four individual sandwiches in front of you with the butter sides facing out (just like when you make a grilled cheese sandwich).
10. 10
    Grill sandwiches in batches of two for 5-6 minutes until cheese is melted and grill marks appear.
11. 11
    Serve immediately and enjoy!
12. 12
    Note: if you do not have a panini grill, you can whip these puppies up in a pan.
13. 13
    The only variance with this in terms of preparation is that you should preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
14. 14
    Grill until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side.
