Reuben Dippers Appetizer Recipe

Yields 42 Bites

Some controversy exists over who actually invented the Reuben, but lore attributes the creation to Reuben Kulakofsky, a grocer in Omaha during the 1920s.  Reuben supposedly first served the sandwich to his buddies at a late night poker game at the local Blackstone Hotel.  The owner of the hotel liked the sandwich so much he put it on his menu.  The rest is history. 
SHOPPING LIST CLOSE X
    Sauerkraut
    Pumpernickel bread
    Unsalted butter
    Grainy mustard
    Applegate Farms Emmentaler Swiss Cheese
    Applegate Farms the Greatest Little Organic Smokey Pork Cocktail Franks
    Thousand Island dressing
    Fresh parsley
1 14 oz. can sauerkraut
14 slices soft pumpernickel bread
8 oz. unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup grainy mustard
4 slices, each cut into 12 pieces Applegate Farms Emmentaler Swiss Cheese
1 package Applegate Farms the Greatest Little Organic Smokey Pork Cocktail Franks

Reuben Dip:

1 ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

 

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Drain sauerkraut in a colander and squeeze out excess liquid. Place drained sauerkraut on a cutting board and chop finely. Cut crusts off each piece of bread and roll flat with rolling pin. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread, then flip over and spread mustard on other side. Cut each slice of bread in thirds lengthwise, creating 42 strips of bread. With the mustard side facing up, place 1 tsp. drained sauerkraut on the end of each bread strip. Top each with a piece of cheese, then cocktail frank. Roll each strip so bread ends overlap, and secure with a toothpick. Bake on cookie sheets until bread is toasted, 7-10 minutes. Serve with Thousand Island dressing for dipping.
