Ingredients:
For the Sliders:
- 12 slider buns
- 1 pound thinly sliced corned beef
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Assemble the sliders: Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half of the buns in the prepared baking dish. Layer the corned beef evenly on the buns, followed by the sauerkraut. Lay the Swiss cheese slices over the sauerkraut.
- Dress it up: Spread the Russian or Thousand Island dressing on the inside of the top half of the buns. Place the top buns over the cheese, creating sliders.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, poppy seeds, and Dijon mustard. Brush this glaze generously over the top of the sliders.
- Bake to perfection: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are warmed through.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the foil and transfer the sliders to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped dill, if desired. Serve the Reuben Sliders warm and watch them disappear!
Tips :
- Try different meats: If you’re not a fan of corned beef, you can swap it out with pastrami or roast beef for equally delicious results.
- Experiment with cheese: While Swiss cheese is the traditional choice for Reuben sandwiches, feel free to substitute it with your favorite cheese, such as Gruyère or cheddar, for a unique twist.
- Add extra flavor: Enhance the flavor profile of your sliders by spreading a thin layer of spicy mustard or horseradish sauce on the buns before assembling.
