Note

Use high-quality rye bread for the best texture and flavor.

Ensure the sauerkraut is well-drained to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.

If Russian salad dressing is unavailable, Thousand Island dressing makes a suitable substitute.

Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melty.
