Waffle Iron Reuben Sandwich Food

PRESSED REUBEN WAFFLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and prepare a cookie sheet with a cooling rack on top.
• In a large bowl, add the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and whisk together to combine. Add the beer, milk, eggs and caraway seeds and whisk again until the wet and dry ingredients are mixed well, about 30 seconds.
• Spray the waffle iron with nonstick spray. Pour about 1 cup batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook the waffle according to the waffle maker's instructions. As each waffle is cooked, place it onto the prepared rack in the oven to keep warm. There should be 8 waffles total, or 4 large waffles which can be cut in half.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Once all of the waffles are done, place 4 of them on a cutting board. Top each with a couple slices of cheese, some corned beef, about 1/2 cup of sauerkraut and drizzle with the Thousand Island dressing. Make a few layers, if desired. Top the sandwiches with the remaining waffles and place back on the rack. Place a sheet of foil on top of the sandwiches, add another cookie sheet on top of the foil and place a heavy pan or a brick on the sheet to press the sandwiches. Cook in the oven until the cheese melts, an additional 5 minutes.
• Whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl until well incorporated. Store covered in the refrigerator.

THE YOUNG REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Set corned beef, swiss cheese, cole slaw, & butter out to come to room temp, OR (to SHORTEN prep time to 20 minutes) gently warm each ingredient in microwave on low power to take off the chill so that the sandwich will be hot inside once grilled.

• Top the corned beef with thousand island dressing & 1/3 c Mike Mills' Crunchy Cole Slaw.
• Top the slaw with another slice of swiss cheese.
• Place the remaining slice of rye atop the sandwich.
• Butter the top of the sandwich and place DOWN in a skillet heated to Medium heat on the stove burner --.
• butter the (now) top of the sandwich while the bottom browns for a few minutes. (Lift gently with a spatula to check browning and turn when ready -- do not scorch!).
• Turn sandwich and brown the other side.
• Serve HOT with dill spear, and chips or french fries if desired.
• Note: the sandwich can actually be built in layers right in the skillet as the one side (bottom) browns IF you have all the other ingredients "warm" and staged for assembly. Tricky the first time but actually easier once you get the hang of it.
