# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • All that classic Reuben flavor in about 30 minutes, most of which is hands-off baking time
  • The corned beef gets wonderfully crisp while the Swiss cheese turns into that perfect melted blanket that holds everything together
02 -
  • Squeezing every last drop of liquid from the sauerkraut is the difference between crispy roll ups and sad, soggy ones
  • If the corned beef slices are too thick, they won't roll properly—ask for thin shave at the deli counter
03 -
  • For extra crispy edges, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the very end but watch closely because they go from perfect to burnt fast
  • Some deli corned beef contains sugar or gluten, so always check the label if you're being strict about keto or gluten-free
