Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray.
Using a rolling pin, lightly flatten each slice of mini rye bread to make them pliable. Brush one side of each slice with melted butter.
Press each slice of bread, buttered side down, into the wells of the muffin tin to create small bread cups.
In a small bowl, mix the drained sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing until well combined.
Cut the corned beef into small, bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the cups by layering about a tablespoon of the sauerkraut mixture into each bread cup, followed by a few pieces of corned beef, and topped with a generous pinch of shredded Swiss cheese.
If using, sprinkle a tiny pinch of caraway seeds on top of the cheese for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread cups are golden brown.
Carefully remove the Little Reuben Dips from the muffin tin and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or a drizzle of additional Thousand Island dressing.
