Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using pastrami instead of corned beef for a different flavor profile. You can also substitute the Swiss cheese with Gruyère for a nuttier taste. If you're short on time, pre-shredded cheese is fine, but fresh cheese melts better. To enhance the flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Reuben's hot on miniature rye bread as a delightful appetizer or snack. Pair with pickle spears and a side of potato chips for a classic deli experience. This dish also pairs beautifully with Daisy'S Casserole for a heartier meal or can be enjoyed alongside a crisp green salad.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Reuben's can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving if possible, as this can make the bread soggy.
