Ingredients

• Low-carb bread
• Corned beef
• Sauerkraut
• Cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Assemble the sandwich by layering corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese between two slices of low-carb bread.
2. Step 2: Grill the sandwich on medium heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Tips & Variations

FAQs

Can I use regular bread instead of low-carb bread?

Yes, but using low-carb bread keeps the sandwich keto-friendly and helps maintain the low carbohydrate count.

Is sauerkraut necessary for the flavor?

Sauerkraut adds the traditional tangy taste of a Reuben sandwich, but you can omit or substitute it if you prefer a milder flavor.

Bread

• 2 slices low-carb bread

Filling

• 4 oz sliced corned beef
• 1/4 cup sauerkraut, drained
• 2 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions

1. Assemble Sandwich: Lay out the slices of low-carb bread. Place the cheese slices on one side, then add the corned beef evenly over the cheese, followed by the drained sauerkraut. Top with the remaining slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
2. Grill Sandwich: Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula to help compress the sandwich and melt the cheese thoroughly. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

• Ensure sauerkraut is well-drained to prevent soggy bread.
• Butter the outside of the bread slices before grilling for an extra crispy texture.
• Swiss cheese is traditional, but you can substitute with other melting cheeses like provolone or mozzarella.
• You can add a spread like Dijon mustard or Thousand Island dressing for a more classic Reuben flavor, but this will affect the carb count.
