These Reuben sandwich sliders are quick and easy to make, featuring warm, melty Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and savory corned beef on toasted rye slider buns. Perfect for game nights or casual gatherings, they offer a comforting and crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Slider buns (small, soft rye buns or whole wheat sliders)
  • Thinly sliced deli-style corned beef (about 2 ounces per slider)
  • Thin slices of Swiss cheese (Gruyère or Emmental recommended)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and lightly squeezed
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Caraway seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
  2. Drain and prep sauerkraut: Place about 1 cup sauerkraut in a fine mesh strainer and press gently to remove excess liquid.
  3. Slice slider buns horizontally into top and bottom halves. Optionally, sprinkle caraway seeds on the buns.
  4. Assemble the sliders in an oven-safe baking dish or cast iron skillet: lay out bottom halves of buns, spread a generous layer of dressing on each, add sauerkraut, then about 2 ounces of corned beef per slider, top with a slice of Swiss cheese, and place the top bun halves on each stack.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and brush evenly over the tops of the buns.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake sliders for 15-18 minutes until cheese is melted and buns are toasted lightly crisp. Watch closely near 15 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  7. Remove from oven and let sliders cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra melty cheese, broil sliders for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to avoid burning. To prevent soggy buns, drain sauerkraut well and brush buns with softened butter before baking. Assemble sliders tightly in the pan to support layers and ease slicing. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven.
