A Toasty Italian Sandwich Meets a Deli Classic in This Genius Reuben Paninis Recipe
Hot off the panini press: a melty, magnificent mash-up you won't be able to resist
The Reuben is a popular delicatessen staple. Slices of corned beef are piled high on rye bread with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. Then it’s grilled to melty perfection. When I’m in the mood for something decadent, it’s one of my favorite things on Earth! I didn’t think it could get any better — that is, until we created this Reuben Paninis recipe. It’s a masterful mash-up of two famous lunchtime bites.
A panini is a toasty Italian treat typically served on ciabatta or focaccia. For our recipe, we use hoagie rolls. Instead of bottled dressing, we whip up a zingy 3-ingredient sauce, then toast the sandwich in a panini press. If you don’t have one, simply cook it in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and place a heavy can on top to weigh it down. Tune into our video, then let us know what you think.
