reuben bites

A short stack of subtly spicy Corned Beef topped with Swiss, kraut and Thousand Island. All the big tastes of a classic Reuben sandwich in an appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounce thinly sliced deli Corned Beef
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing, divided
  • 8 slices rye, swirl rye or pumpernickel bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese (about 3/4 ounce each)
  • 1 cup drained sauerkraut

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread 2 teaspoons dressing on each bread slice; cut slices into quarters. Place bread pieces in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until bread is lightly toasted, rotating baking sheets half way through baking.
  2. Meanwhile, cut cheese slices into quarters; cut each quarter diagonally in half to form 32 triangles. Top bread pieces evenly with Corned Beef, cheese slices and sauerkraut.
  3. Heat appetizers in 425°F oven 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top evenly with remaining Thousand Island dressing.
