Top each one with about 2 teaspoons of thousand island salad dressing, then fold about 1/2 slice of corned beef to fit the bread, and lay over the dressing. Place a small amount of sauerkraut over the meat, then top with 1/4 slice of the Swiss cheese, or a slice about as big as the bread.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For each sandwich, spread 1 slice bread with about 1/2 to 1 t mayonnaise and another with 1/2 to 1 t mustard.
• In each sandwich, layer slices of corned beef, cheese and 1/2 T sauerkraut, close the sandwich.
