Ah, the Reuben sandwich, a classic that’s been filling our bellies with its delicious combo of corned beef, Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and that oh-so-good Thousand Island dressing. But let’s chat about giving this traditional beauty a bit of a party twist. Enter: Baked Reuben Pinwheels. Perfect for when you’ve got friends over for the game or if you’re just feeling a little fancy while binge-watching your favorite series. These pinwheels keep everything you love about the good ol’ Reuben but turn it into a crowd-friendly appetizer that is as easy to make as it is to eat. Trust me, your guests (or just you, no judgment!) won’t be able to stop at just one.
Now, imagine you’ve got your plate of these golden beauties. But what’s next? Go classic with some dill pickles on the side or, if you’re feeling adventurous, mix up a little extra Thousand Island for dipping. Balance the richness with a simple green salad, or serve alongside a cup of tomato soup for that high-end deli experience right at your dining room table.
