Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
Meat
- 12 slices corned beef
Vegetables & Condiments
- 0.75 cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the cheese slices.
- Prepare Sauerkraut: Drain and pat dry the sauerkraut thoroughly to remove any excess moisture that could prevent proper cheese melting and crisping.
- Cook Cheese Slices: Place 2–3 slices of Swiss cheese into the hot skillet at a time, cooking for about 2 minutes until the cheese becomes bubbly and the edges begin to brown slightly, indicating it is pliable and crispy.
- Add Toppings: Top each melted Swiss cheese slice in the skillet with one slice of corned beef, then about 1 tablespoon of dried sauerkraut, and finally drizzle a small amount of Dijon mustard on top.
- Roll Up Cheese: Using a spatula, gently roll each cheese slice with the toppings into a tight log shape while it is still pliable and warm to ensure it seals without breaking.
- Repeat Process: Transfer the finished roll-ups onto a plate and repeat the cooking and rolling steps with the remaining ingredients until all roll-ups are prepared.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the roll-ups with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and serve warm with extra Dijon mustard or Russian dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain and pat dry the sauerkraut to avoid soggy cheese.
- Work in batches to prevent overcrowding the skillet and ensure even melting and crisping of the cheese.
- If desired, serve with Russian dressing for a more traditional Reuben flavor.
- Use nonstick skillet to prevent cheese from sticking and tearing while rolling.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed immediately while warm and crispy.
