How to Make a Toasted Cuban Reuben Sandwich with Video

Preheat a griddle, skillet or panini press.

Cut the bread in half. Spread the mustard on the bottom layer.

Layer the ham over the mustard, followed by the corned beef.

Arrange the Swiss cheese slices over the meat.

Spread sauerkraut over the cheese. Top with dill pickle slices. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Spread the Russian dressing over the inside of the top layer of bread. Place the top layer on top of the sandwich.

Spread a thin layer of butter over the top of the sandwich.

Place the sandwich buttered side down on the hot griddle. Press using a sandwich press or a heavy skillet. Toast about 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown.

Butter the side of the sandwich that's facing up. Carefully flip the sandwich and press again with the press or skillet. Toast for another 1-2 minutes.

Remove the sandwich from the griddle and cut in half on the bias.
