Ingredients

Units Scale

Sliders

  • 12 soft dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls
  • 1/2 cup thousand island dressing
  • 1/2 lb corned beef or pastrami, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lb Swiss cheese, sliced
  • 1 lb sauerkraut, drained

Topping

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and provide flavor.
  2. Prepare the rolls: Slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottoms attached together and the tops attached together, creating two separate layers for easy assembly.
  3. Assemble bottom layer: Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Spread half of the thousand island dressing evenly over this bottom layer of the rolls.
  4. Add layers of fillings: Layer the corned beef or pastrami evenly over the dressing, followed by the drained sauerkraut, and then top with the sliced Swiss cheese, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Top with remaining dressing and rolls: Spread the remaining thousand island dressing on the inner side of the top half of the rolls. Carefully place this top layer over the Swiss cheese to complete the sandwich assembly.
  6. Prepare the topping and brush: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, caraway seeds, and salt. Brush this flavorful mixture evenly over the top of the assembled rolls.
  7. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep moisture in and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
  8. Bake uncovered until golden: Remove the foil and continue baking for about 5 more minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are lightly golden brown and slightly crisp.
  9. Serve warm: Remove from oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your delicious baked Reuben sliders!

Notes

  • The perfect sandwich made into the perfect starter, ideal for parties and gatherings.
  • Feel free to substitute the corned beef with pastrami according to preference.
  • Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well to avoid soggy sliders.
  • Covering the dish during baking helps melt the cheese without drying out the rolls.
  • For added zest, consider adding a few slices of dill pickle inside the sliders before baking.
