Instructions
Getting started with this Reuben dip is straightforward, and we’ll walk through each step to make it simple for beginners. First, gather all your ingredients to ensure smooth sailing this includes chopping the corned beef and draining the sauerkraut. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for the chips.
Next, cut the bread slices into triangles and spread them on the baking sheets. Brush both sides with melted butter and season with salt and pepper, then bake for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp. Cool them on wire racks while you prepare the dip mixture.
1-Coat a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2-In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Thousand Island dressing, grainy mustard, toasted caraway seeds, kosher salt, and black pepper.
3-Gently mix in 8 oz. of the grated Swiss cheese, the corned beef or pastrami, sauerkraut, and sour pickles.
4-Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 4 oz. of grated Swiss cheese on top.
5-Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbling, then broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the cheese, watching closely.
