Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices low-carb bread
Sandwich Filling
- 3–4 oz sliced corned beef
- 2 tablespoons sauerkraut, drained
- 2 slices Swiss cheese or your preferred cheese
- 2 tablespoons keto-friendly Thousand Island dressing or Russian dressing
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Lay out the low-carb bread slices and spread one side of each with the keto-friendly dressing evenly to add flavor and moisture.
- Assemble the Sandwich. On one slice of bread (dressing side up), layer the sliced corned beef evenly, followed by the drained sauerkraut, and then top with the cheese slices. Place the second slice of bread on top, dressing side down, to complete the sandwich.
- Preheat Skillet. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot but not smoking, ensuring a crispy crust without burning.
- Grill Sandwich. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, pressing gently to help melt the cheese and heat the filling thoroughly.
- Serve. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for a minute to firm up slightly, then slice in half and serve warm with extra dressing if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well to prevent soggy bread.
- You can substitute the cheese with cheddar or mozzarella if preferred.
- For an extra crunch, add a layer of pickles inside the sandwich.
- Use a low-carb or keto-friendly bread to keep the sandwich within your dietary goals.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your stove and skillet; watch for golden bread and melted cheese as cues.
