Reuben Wonton Cups

Reuben Wonton Cups are the ultimate appetizer for those who love Reuben sandwiches. Tasty corned beef, sauerkraut and Russian dressing are combined and nestled inside of crispy wonton cups and finished with melted Swiss cheese. Reuben Wonton Cups are super easy to make and are a real crowd pleaser for any occasion.

Reuben Wonton Cups

Several months ago, I made another batch of my amazing homemade sauerkraut. Earlier in the week, I made Sous Vide Corned Beef.  Because the Reuben is my very favorite sandwich, I made some Russian Dressing to use with the sauerkraut and corned beef. To top it all off, I had some wonton wrappers in the refrigerator that needed to be used.

Therefore, I had all of the ingredients needed for these tasty Reuben Wonton Cups.

Ingredients for Reuben Wonton Cups

Preparing the Corned Beef Filling for Reuben Wonton Cups

Preparing the filling for the Reuben Wonton Cups involved nothing more than mixing together the corned beef, sauerkraut and Russian Dressing in a medium bowl.

How simple is that?

Preparing the Wonton Cups

Once I had made the corned beef filling, I turned my attention to making the wonton cups. First, I brushed one side of a wonton wrapper with some vegetable oil (Photo 1). Then, I pressed the wonton wrapper, oil side down into one of the cups of my mini-muffin pan (Photo 2). I repeated this with the remainder of the wonton wrappers.

Next, I brushed the wonton cups with vegetable oil (Photo 3). Finally, I placed the wonton cups into a preheated 350°F oven for about 6 minutes, until they were lightly browned (Photo 4).

Preparing the wonton cups

I removed the wonton cups from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

Finishing the Reuben Wonton Cups

After the wonton cups had cooled slightly, I filled each cup with about 2 teaspoons of the corned beef filling. I used my smallest ice cream scoop to do this, but could have also used a teaspoon.

Finally, I topped each of the Reuben Wonton Cups with several teaspoons of shredded Swiss cheese.

Topping Reuben Wonton cups with shredded Swiss cheese

I popped the Reuben Wonton Cups into a preheated 350°F oven for about 8 minutes. I watched them carefully to make sure that the wonton wrappers didn’t get too brown. In fact, after about 5 minutes, I lightly covered the pan with aluminum foil. This way, the Reuben Wonton Cups could continue heating without over-browning the wonton wrappers.

After 8 minutes, the filling was hot and the Swiss cheese was nicely melted.

I placed the mini-muffin pan on a wire rack to allow the Reuben Wonton Cups to cool a bit, and sprinkled minced parsley on the top.

I ended up with 24 out-of-this-world Reuben Wonton Cups. Each tasty morsel had all of the characteristic Reuben taste in a crispy wonton cup. Yum!

Chula's Expert Tips

  1. I used leftover Sous Vide corned beef. However, you could also use deli corned beef.
  2. Sauerkraut is packed in a lot of liquid. I not only drained the sauerkraut, but also pressed it between pieces of paper towel to extract as much liquid as possible. 
  3. I used my 2-teaspoon ice cream scoop to fill the wonton cups. You could also use a teaspoon here.
  4. After about 5 minutes, I thought that the wonton cups were as brown as I wanted them to be. Therefore, after 5 minutes, I lightly covered the pan with aluminum foil for the remaining time.
