How To Make The Best Reuben Sliders
- Preheat your oven to 350-F and spray a baking dish large enough to hold all the sliders in one layer with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.
- Slice the sliders in half horizontally – don’t break them apart first. Take the whole block and slice them in half.
- Lay the slider bottoms in the prepared baking dish and spread them with the Russian dressing.
- Layer the corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese on top. Put the lid on the sliders and press down gently.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl and mix in the Dijon mustard and Everything Bagel Seasoning. Brush this liberally over the top of the sliders. Use it all up!
- Bake the sliders at 350-F for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
- Transfer the hot sliders to a cutting board and cut them apart.
- Serve warm, and enjoy!
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- It is super easy to double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd.
- How many sliders per person? Count on 1-2 sliders as an appetizer or starter, or 3-4 as a meal with sides.
- Swiss cheese has a strong flavor. Feel free to try this Reuben Slider recipe with Jarlsberg cheese instead. It has a milder flavor but is still swiss-like.
- You can prep the sliders ahead of time and then just bake them 20 minutes before serving. Keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them.
- What is Russian dressing? It’s like a tangier, spicier thousand island dressing. Can’t find it or make it? Mix 1 tablespoon of prepared horseradish into 1/4 cup thousand island dressing along with a pinch of cayenne.
