Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Rye bread
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 0.5 cup Sauerkraut
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each slice of rye bread into quarters to create small squares. You should have 48 pieces total.
Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on one side of half of the bread squares (24 pieces).
Cut the Swiss cheese slices into quarters to create smaller pieces, and place one piece on top of each of the dressed bread squares.
Layer small pieces of corned beef on top of the Swiss cheese, dividing it evenly among the 24 dressed squares.
Scoop about a teaspoon of sauerkraut onto each piece of corned beef. Spread it gently to cover the top evenly.
Place another bread square on top of each stack to make mini sandwiches.
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.
Working in batches, place the mini sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add more butter to the skillet if needed.
Once cooked, transfer the Mini Reubens to a baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to ensure everything is warmed through.
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
