EMERIL'S REUBEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the corned beef in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with a little water. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes.
• Lay the bread slices on a clean work surface and spread 1 side of each slice with some of the Russian dressing. Layer 1/2 of the slices with some of the corned beef. Divide the sauerkraut evenly over the meat, then top the sauerkraut with the slices of cheese and cole slaw. Place the remaining bread slices on top, dressing sides down, and set aside.
• Heat 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. When hot, brush 1 side of each sandwich with some of the butter and place in the hot pans, buttered sides down, and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Spread the unbuttered, top sides of the sandwiches with the remaining butter and turn the sandwiches to cook on the second side until golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half on the diagonal, then serve immediately, with remaining cole slaw and a kosher dill pickle, for garnish.
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients except salt and whisk until well-blended. Add salt to taste, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

PRESSED REUBEN WAFFLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and prepare a cookie sheet with a cooling rack on top.
• In a large bowl, add the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and whisk together to combine. Add the beer, milk, eggs and caraway seeds and whisk again until the wet and dry ingredients are mixed well, about 30 seconds.
• Spray the waffle iron with nonstick spray. Pour about 1 cup batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook the waffle according to the waffle maker's instructions. As each waffle is cooked, place it onto the prepared rack in the oven to keep warm. There should be 8 waffles total, or 4 large waffles which can be cut in half.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Once all of the waffles are done, place 4 of them on a cutting board. Top each with a couple slices of cheese, some corned beef, about 1/2 cup of sauerkraut and drizzle with the Thousand Island dressing. Make a few layers, if desired. Top the sandwiches with the remaining waffles and place back on the rack. Place a sheet of foil on top of the sandwiches, add another cookie sheet on top of the foil and place a heavy pan or a brick on the sheet to press the sandwiches. Cook in the oven until the cheese melts, an additional 5 minutes.
• Whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl until well incorporated. Store covered in the refrigerator.

• 3. 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

WAFFLES WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY SYRUP - EMERIL LAGASSE

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Into a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved and eggs have turned a pale yellow. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture to the egg-milk mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not overmix.
• In a third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter, being careful not to overmix.
• Coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray, if required, and pour enough batter in the iron to just cover the waffle grid. Close and cook as per the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Do not open the waffle iron for at least 1 minute.) Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve immediately with Strawberry Syrup spooned over the top of each waffle.
• Fresh Strawberry Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the strawberries are soft and the syrup is thickened and reduced by one-third to one-half in volume, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature before serving. (If thinner syrup is desired, strain the hot syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container and let cool.).

SAVORY SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE STUFFING - EMERIL LAGASSE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain and rinse with cold water. Once cool, squeeze as much water from spinach as possible, then roughly chop, and reserve.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, 2 teaspoons of Italian Essence, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the artichokes and cook, stirring, another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• Combine the eggs, cream, chicken stock, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon Italian Essence, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, and remaining 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the bread, spinach, artichoke mixture, brie, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and parsley and stir to combine. If bread does not absorb all of liquid immediately then let rest until this happens, about 20 minutes.
• Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan over the top and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake until firm in the center and golden brown, about 1 hour. Serve warm.

REUBEN STRUDEL

Steps:

• Cut corned beef into 1/2-inch strips; set aside.
• Saute cabbage and next 3 ingredients in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray 4 minutes or until cabbage wilts. Remove from heat; stir in dressing. Cool.
• Stir together butter and mustard; set aside.
• Unfold phyllo, and cover with a damp towel to prevent pastry from drying out.
• Stack 8 sheets on a flat surface covered with wax paper, brushing every other sheet with the butter mixture. Spoon half of the cabbage mixture lengthwise down half of phyllo stack, spreading to within 2 inches of edges. Top with half of corned beef and half of cheese. Fold in short edges 2 inches.
• Roll up, staring a long edge nearest filling. Place, seam side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut 1/4-inch deep diagonal slit, 1 inch apart, across top. Coat strudel with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter mixture, and filling.
• Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Cut diagonally into 3- to 4-inch pieces. Serve immediately.

TOP-RATED REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to about 325 degrees F. (That's just about medium for many burners, but it also depends on if your stove is gas, electric, glass-topped, or a number of other factors -- experimenting is the surest way to find out.).
• Spread outside of each slice of rye with soft butter, about 1 Tbls per side (Scrape it thin -- too much butter makes browning more difficult and reduces crispness.).
• Place bread on grill butter side down, and put 1 slice Swiss on each side.
• Pre-heat the corned beef on a very low setting in the microwave or heat it briefly on the grill, but DON'T OVERCOOK! You want to heat, not dry out. Layer the corned beef on 1 side.
• Heat sauerkraut on grill, but do not brown. When it steams, it's ready.
• When cheese melts, remove sandwich from heat.
• Spread Louie Dressing onto side with cheese only. (This stops it from soaking into the warm bread and making it soggy.).
• Put sauerkraut onto corned beef & roughly make an even layer.
• Close sandwich, salt if you like (we do) and cut as desired. (We served it with a homemade dill pickle spear and a bit of salad.).
• Serve it hot!
