Ingredients
For the Roll-Ups
- 6 large slices Swiss cheese
- 12 thin slices corned beef
- ½ cup drained sauerkraut, finely chopped
- ¼ cup keto Thousand Island or Russian-style dressing
- 1 tbsp butter or avocado oil for frying
Optional Garnish
- Chopped parsley
- Extra dressing for dipping
Ingredient Notes
- Swiss cheese acts as both wrapper and crispy shell once melted and browned.
- Corned beef gives that classic Reuben flavor—pastrami works too.
- Sauerkraut adds tangy crunch; be sure to drain well to avoid soggy rolls.
- Keto dressing keeps everything creamy and sugar-free while tying the flavors together.
These ingredients work beautifully to mimic the beloved deli sandwich—without the bread.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Fillings
Chop sauerkraut finely and pat dry with paper towels. Lay out Swiss cheese slices on a clean surface. - Layer the Good Stuff
Place two slices of corned beef over each cheese slice. Spread about a teaspoon of dressing down the center, then sprinkle with sauerkraut. - Roll It Up
Carefully roll each stack into a tight cylinder, tucking in the sides so the filling stays inside. - Heat the Pan
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and fragrant. - Crisp to Perfection
Place roll-ups seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the cheese turns golden, bubbly, and gloriously crispy. - Drain & Rest
Transfer to paper towels to absorb excess grease and let cool slightly—this helps the cheese firm up. - Serve Hot
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with extra dipping sauce.
