Instructions

Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mustard on one side of each slice of bread. Layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on four of the slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread to create four sandwiches.
Lightly butter the outer sides of the sandwiches or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the sandwiches on the preheated griddle or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them cool slightly before slicing. Serve with pickles on the side.

Notes

Make sure to choose quality corned beef from your local deli or butcher for the best flavor and texture. If you prefer a toasted sandwich with a bit of crunch, you can use a panini press or a sandwich press to grill the sandwiches. Feel free to customize your sandwiches by adding other toppings like sliced tomatoes, onions, or a drizzle of Russian dressing. Serve with a side of cole slaw or chips for a complete meal and enjoy!
