Ingredients
Corned Beef
For this recipe, you’ll need 1 cup of finely chopped corned beef. This flavorful meat provides the signature taste that makes mini Reuben bites stand out. Choose high-quality corned beef from your deli for the best results.
Swiss Cheese
Use 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese to add creaminess and a mild nutty flavor to each bite. The melt-in-your-mouth texture of Swiss cheese complements the other ingredients perfectly.
Sauerkraut
You’ll need ½ cup of drained sauerkraut to add tanginess and crunch. Rinse it briefly under cold water to reduce its acidity if desired. This ingredient gives the mini Reuben bites their distinct taste.
Rye Bread
Choose 8 slices of rye bread, cut into quarters to form bite-sized pieces. The robust flavor of rye pairs beautifully with the other ingredients and adds a satisfying crunch when toasted.
Thousand Island Dressing
Prepare ¼ cup of Thousand Island dressing as a zesty spread for your mini sandwiches. This dressing ties all the flavors together while adding creaminess that balances the richness of the other ingredients.
