Gluten-Free Reuben Sandwich
Corned beef, Swiss, and sauerkraut—perfectly stacked on gluten-free bread
This gluten-free Reuben sandwich delivers everything you expect from the classic—savory corned beef, melty Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy dressing—served on properly toasted gluten-free bread.
Using a toaster with dedicated gluten-free settings helps ensure even browning without drying out the bread, so the sandwich stays crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 2 slices gluten-free bread
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon ground caraway
- Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- ¼ pound thinly sliced corned beef (from the deli counter or leftovers)
- ¼ cup sauerkraut, drained
Tip: If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, choose deli meats and dressings labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contact.
How to Make a Gluten-Free Reuben Sandwich:
- Toast the bread using the gluten-free setting on your toaster.
- While the bread toasts, melt the butter and stir in the ground caraway.
- Brush the caraway butter evenly onto one side of each slice of toasted bread.
- Spread Russian or Thousand Island dressing over the buttered side.
- Layer Swiss cheese, corned beef, and drained sauerkraut onto one slice.
- Top with the second slice of bread, slice in half, and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Reuben:
- Drain the sauerkraut well to prevent soggy bread.
- Let the cheese warm slightly so it melts into the sandwich.
- If needed, return the assembled sandwich to the toaster briefly on a low reheat setting

Why Make a Gluten-Free Reuben Sandwich in the Revolution Smart Toaster
Gluten-free bread can be difficult to toast evenly, especially for sandwiches with rich fillings like a Reuben. The Revolution Smart Toaster includes dedicated gluten-free modes that automatically adjust heat and timing to match the structure of gluten-free bread.
That precision helps the bread toast to a crisp exterior while staying soft inside, creating a sturdier base for classic Reuben ingredients like corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. The result is a gluten-free Reuben sandwich with better texture, better balance, and none of the dryness or scorching common with standard toasters.
