===== Directions =====
  - Heat the oven to 400°F.
  - Mix the dip: In a large bowl, combine corned beef, cream cheese, cubed Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, dressing, and caraway seeds with a sturdy spoon or spatula.
  - Spread evenly into a 2-quart oven-safe dish. Set aside.
  - Make the bread crumbs: Tear two slices of rye bread into pieces and pulse in a food processor or spice grinder until coarsely ground. You need about 1 1/4 cups of crumbs; process additional slices of bread as needed.
  - Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add the crumbs and stir to coat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes until the crumbs are dry and crisp. Remove from heat.
  - Bake the dip: Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the dip. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
  - Make the toasts: Lightly butter the remaining slices of rye bread and sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt. Stack slices on top of one another, and then slice into triangles or rectangles. Place a metal cooling rack inside a baking sheet and arrange the bread slices on top.
  - When there is about 10 minutes left on the dip, place the bread in the oven alongside the dip to toast. (It's fine to toast on a separate oven if you can't fit both the toasts and the dip on the same rack.)
