Ingredients

  • 8 lices bread rye or pumpernickel
  • 4 lices Swiss cheese
  • 1 pound (453g) corned beef sliced
  • 8 tablespoons Sauerkraut well-drained
  • ½ cup (132g) Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing
  • oil or melted butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F or 200 degrees C and spread the Russian dressing on four slices of bread.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches by dividing the corned beef slices evenly among the 4 pieces of bread, then top each with sauerkraut and a slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the 4 remaining slices of bread. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the sandwiches togther.
  3. Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket, and spray or brush the tops with oil or melted butter.
  4. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes, then open the air fryer, carefully flip the sandwiches over, and add butter to the tops.
  5. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until crispy golden brown.

Notes

  • Use a substantial bread that will hold up to this meaty sandwich. 
  • Ensure the sauerkraut or pickled cabbage is well-drained so you don’t end up with a soggy sandwich. 
  • Slice the corned beef to your preference. I prefer thick slices, but you can shred the beef. 
  • You can butter the bread before assembling the sandwich. 
  • Omit the sauerkraut if you prefer. 
  • Can’t find corned beef? Use pastrami instead. 
  • Use a toothpick to hold the sandwich together while it cooks. Remove the toothpick before serving.
  • Don't crowd the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
