A quick, easy lunch (we were still full from frittatas until about 2:00!). This looks kind of weird in the photo, but they were actually pretty good!


Open-faced Reuben Sandwich Melts

2 slices rye bread (I like the kind with caraway seeds)
1/2 cup sauerkraut
4 or 5 slices corned beef
2 slices baby Swiss cheese
3 Tbsp. ketchup
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
prepared horseradish to taste (1 or 2 Tbsp.)
3 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish

Mix together ketchup, mayo, horseradish and relish (this is just basically Thousand Island with a little kick). Spread a generous amount on one side of each slice of bread. Next, top each slice of bread with corned beef, then sauerkraut, then Swiss cheese. Bake at 300 degrees, watching closely (I use my toaster oven), until meat is warmed through, bread is toasted and cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serves 2.
