- 6 slices of Rye Bread (See Tip 1)
- 6 slices of Swiss cheese
- 4 ounces of thinly sliced corned beef (0.67 ounces per rollup) (See Tip 2)
- 3 ounces of squeezed dry sauerkraut (0.5 ounces per rollup) (See Tips 3 and 4)
- 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, melted
- Homemade Russian Dressing for dipping
Flatten both sides of a slice of Rye Bread with a rolling pin. Top with a piece of Swiss cheese, torn to fit the bread, thinly sliced corned beef, and sauerkraut. Starting at the small end, tightly roll up and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Lightly brush the outside of each rollup with melted butter. Place seam-side down in the air fryer and air fry at 375°F for 7 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. (See Tip 5)
Remove from the air fryer and remove the toothpicks. Serve with Russian dressing on the side for dipping.
Yield: 6 Reuben rollups (See Tips 6 and 7)
- I used Arnold Jewish Seedless Rye Bread for the rollups. Make sure to use soft rye bread to ensure proper flattening.
- I used leftover sous vide corned beef, which I thinly sliced using a 2mm slicing blade in my food processor. You can also use thinly sliced deli corned beef.
- Make sure you use premium sauerkraut for the best flavor. I used Bubbies Sauerkraut, which I purchased from the cold food section at Publix, along with luncheon meats and cheese.
- Make sure the sauerkraut is very dry to prevent soggy rollups.
- May also bake in a 400°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
- Recipe may be easily doubled.
- Leftovers may be reheated in the air fryer at 325°F for 3 to 4 minutes, or in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. Avoid reheating in the microwave.
