Reuben Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange 28 crackers in rows on bottom of greased 13x9 baking dish.
• Layer 3/4 cup cheese, sauerkraut, corned beef and remaining cheese over crackers; top with remaining crackers.
• Whisk milk, eggs, mustard and parsley in bowl; pour over crackers.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until puffed and golden.
• Let stand 10 minutes, then cut into squares in between crackers.
• Serve warm, with thousand island dressing on the side if you wish.

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients well.
• Form into small balls, approximately 1" in size.
• Roll in flour, and then dip in your favorite batter.
• Deep fry until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a large pan with the pickling seasoning and enough water to fill the pan halfway. Cover and cook for 3 hours. Let cool partially, and then refrigerate to cool completely (for at least 3 hours total if you cut the brisket into pieces, or overnight if cooling it whole).
• Dice the brisket and puree in a food processor until a paste forms (some chunks are fine). Add the sauerkraut, cream cheese and Swiss cheese and mix well. Shape the mixture into little spheres the size of golf balls; set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, pour enough vegetable oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
• In three separate containers put the flour, buttermilk, and breadcrumbs mixed with parsley. Take a sphere and coat in the flour, dredge in the buttermilk and then coat in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining spheres. Fry in batches--making sure all the fritters are submerged--until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Serve the fritters with the Whole-Grain Honey Mustard Horseradish Dipping Sauce on the side.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, horseradish, whole-grain mustard, rice vinegar, dry mustard and granulated garlic in a large bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler.
• Arrange cocktail rye slices on a baking sheet. Top each one with about 2 teaspoons of thousand island salad dressing, then fold about 1/2 slice of corned beef to fit the bread, and lay over the dressing. Place a small amount of sauerkraut over the meat, then top with 1/4 slice of the Swiss cheese, or a slice about as big as the bread.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve warm.
