Ingredients
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 slices of corned beef
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of mustard
Instructions
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes to ensure easy spreading.
- Lay out the 4 slices of rye bread on a clean cutting board or work surface.
- Spread a thin, even layer of mustard on the inner side of each bread slice, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place one slice of Swiss cheese on two of the bread slices, creating the base for each sandwich.
- Layer 2 slices of corned beef evenly on top of the Swiss cheese for each sandwich, ensuring full coverage.
- Top the corned beef with another slice of Swiss cheese to complete the sandwich structure.
- Close the sandwiches by placing the remaining mustard-spread bread slices on top.
- Generously butter the exterior sides of each sandwich, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat to prevent burning.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the heated skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Gently flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
- Cut the sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter for easier spreading and more even browning.
- Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent burning while ensuring a crispy exterior and fully melted cheese.
- Press down gently with a spatula while cooking to help the sandwich cook evenly and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Let the sandwich rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a thin layer of caramelized onions or a sprinkle of fresh herbs between the cheese and corned beef.
- Choose a high-quality, thick-cut rye bread for the best texture and flavor.
- If you like extra tang, experiment with different mustard varieties like Dijon or whole grain mustard.
