A St. Patrick's Day Favorite: Open-Faced Reuben Sandwich

Great for St. Patrick's Day ... and all the other days of the year!

By Charlotte Linde March 16, 2020

You had me at melty cheese, tangy kraut, and creamy dressing. Having to tackle this open-faced Reuben sandwich with a fork and knife seems more like a meal -- the perfect one to serve on St. Patrick's Day, or really any day of the year. Don't forget the napkins! 

Open-Faced Reuben Sandwich

Makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices pumpernickel swirl rye bread
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 pound shaved deli corned beef
  • 1 cup drained sauerkraut 
  • 1/2 cup thousand island dressing or more if desired
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • Caraway seeds (optional)

Directions:

  1. Set oven to broil to preheat
  2. Toast bread and butter one side
  3. Place toast on baking sheet and layer with dressing, meat, sauerkraut, more dressing, and cheese. (I like to sprinkle a few caraway seeds on my sauerkraut)
  4. Place under broiler until cheese is melted and bubbly. 

Can we get a YUM YUM?!
