Ingredients

4 slices rye bread
Emeril's Russian dressing, recipe follows
8 ounces thinly sliced Swiss cheese
8 ounces sliced baked ham
8 ounces sliced corned beef
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sauerkraut, as accompaniment

Directions

Preheat a waffle iron.

Place 2 slices of the bread on a flat work surface. Spread one side of each slice with the Emeril's Russian Dressing. On 1 slice of bread, stack half of the cheese, ham, and corned beef in layers. Top with the other slice of bread, dressing side down, and push together to form a sandwich.

Spread softened butter on both sides of the sandwich and place in the hot waffle iron. Cook until the sandwich is golden brown on the outside and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and cut into quarters. Serve immediately with the sauerkraut, and repeat with the remaining sandwich.

Emeril's Russian Dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chili sauce
1 tablespoon minced yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced celery
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Emeril's Red Pepper Sauce, or other hot sauce
Pinch sugar
Salt

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk until well blended. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

Delicious Dressing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the Russian dressing and I just wanted to eat it with a spoon!! I also added the saurkraut to the sandwich before... grilling. This sandwich was so yummy - I was almost glad that my daughter didn't even want to try it so I could have all of it to myself!!Read more

Great Sandwich!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a truly great sandwich. It was so filling, that I could only eat half. :-) The only thing that I changed, was... spooning inside the sandwich before cooking. I think it tastes better with the kraut cooked into it, rather than eating the kraut as a side dish with the sandwich.Read more
