Ingredients
- 6 slices Rye bread
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Using a sharp knife or a round cookie cutter, cut each slice of rye bread into two or three smaller bite-sized pieces, depending on the size of your bread.
Step 3
Lightly butter one side of each bread piece and place the buttered side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4
Layer a small piece of corned beef on each bread slice, ensuring it fits neatly.
Step 5
Top the corned beef with a small spoonful of sauerkraut, evenly spreading it across the surface.
Step 6
Cut the Swiss cheese slices into smaller pieces that fit each bread bite, and place one piece of cheese on top of the sauerkraut.
Step 7
Drizzle a small amount of Thousand Island dressing over the cheese. Be careful not to add too much to prevent the appetizers from becoming soggy.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of caraway seeds over each piece for extra flavor.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
