Ingredients

Sandwich
4 slices marble rye bread
8 oz deli corned beef, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sauerkraut, well-drained
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 tbsp Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing
1 tbsp butter, softened

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Butter one side of each slice of rye bread.

  2. 2

    Flip the bread butter-side down and spread Russian dressing on the inside of each slice.

  3. 3

    Layer Swiss cheese, corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, and another slice of Swiss cheese on two slices of bread, then close with the remaining slices butter-side up.

  4. 4

    Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden.

  5. 5

    Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted throughout.

💡

Tip: Squeezing the sauerkraut thoroughly in a clean kitchen towel is critical — excess moisture will make the bread soggy before it can crisp up.
