Swiss cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: provolone

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while still melting well.

corned beef

🥗Healthier: turkey pastrami

Turkey pastrami is leaner, while cooked ham is often less expensive.

1

Lay down a slice of corned beef and half a slice of Swiss cheese on a piece of rye bread.

2

Add a dollop of sauerkraut and roll it up tightly.

3

Freeze the rolled-up filling to prevent it from unrolling.

4

Grind up rye bread until it crumbles to create a coating.

5

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, corn starch, baking soda, and seltzer water to make the beer batter.

6

Dunk the corn beef roll into the beer batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

7

Transfer the battered roll into the rye bread crumbles, pressing to adhere the crumbs well.

8

Heat oil in a deep fryer to the appropriate frying temperature.

9

Carefully place the coated rolls into the hot oil and fry for a few minutes until golden brown.

10

Remove the fried rolls from the oil and allow them to drain on paper towels.
