How to Make a Reuben

corned beef

🥗Healthier: turkey pastrami

💰Cheaper: roast beef

Turkey pastrami reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

Swiss cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Low-fat cheese cuts calories while providing creaminess.

Russian dressing

🥗Healthier: hummus

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise + ketchup

Hummus offers a healthier spread option.

rye bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

Grab the marble rye bread.

Spread an even layer of thousand island dressing on one side of the bread.

Layer corned beef on top of the dressing.

Add a layer of Swiss cheese on top of the corned beef.

Add another layer of corned beef on top of the Swiss cheese.

Cover the sandwich with the other slice of bread.

Heat a heat-resistant pan on the stove.

Melt a little butter in the pan.

Place the sandwich in the pan and toast for about 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is toasted.

Carefully flip the sandwich to toast the other side.

Once flipped, place the sandwich in the oven for about 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is warm.

Remove the sandwich from the oven and cut it in half to serve.
