These crispy mini Reuben sliders on pretzel buns combine fuss-free prep with bold, satisfying flavors, perfect for game day snacks or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mini pretzel buns
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli-style corned beef
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese (Jarlsberg or Emmental recommended)
  • 1 cup well-drained sauerkraut
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Drain the sauerkraut well to avoid soggy sliders. Mix Thousand Island dressing and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Slice the mini pretzel buns horizontally, leaving a hinge if possible to keep the slider intact. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
  3. Layer about 1 ounce (28g) of sliced corned beef on each bun, followed by a tablespoon of sauerkraut, and then a slice of Swiss cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and optional caraway seeds over the cheese.
  4. Carefully close each slider and spread softened butter on the outside of both the top and bottom buns.
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sliders butter-side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip gently and cook the other side another 3-4 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
  6. For extra melty cheese, place the skillet in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 3-5 minutes after browning.
  7. Transfer sliders to a platter, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm with extra sauce or pickles on the side.

Notes

Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent soggy buns. Use butter on buns for a golden crust. Cover pan briefly when melting cheese to help it melt evenly. Assemble sliders ahead and refrigerate up to 4 hours before cooking. For gluten-free or dairy-free options, substitute pretzel buns and cheese accordingly.
