REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread each slice of bread with thousand island dressing. Top 4 of the bread slices with sauerkraut, cheese and pastrami. Place remaining bread slices on sandwich. Spread margarine on the outsides of each sandwich.
• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Grill until browned, then turn and grill until heated through, and cheese is melted.

REUBEN PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Dust a flat work surface lightly with flour. Unroll puff pastry sheets; roll each out into a 10x15-inch rectangle. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over puff pastry. Cover mustard with a layer of pastrami slices, followed by a layer of Swiss cheese slices. Roll puff pastry up tightly like a jelly roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Slice puff pastry rolls into 1/4-inch-thick slices and lay on the prepared baking sheets. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Let sit for 1 minute on baking sheet before removing.

MINIATURE REUBEN APPETIZERS

Steps:

• 3. Spread each slice with Thousand Island dressing, followed by a slice of corned beef or pastrami, folded in square to fit bread slice, followed by a tablespoon of sauerkraut, followed by a square of Swiss cheese.
• 4. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• 5. They're best warm from the oven,but still very good after they cool off. ***My tip or trick is to place a heating pad on low. Set the tray of sandwiches on this while the party is going on.*** This keeps them a nice temperture for eating.
