Gluten-Free Reuben Sandwich (Crispy, Melty & Classic)
A Reuben sandwich is all about bold flavor—savory corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melty Swiss cheese, and that unmistakable rye-like bite. This gluten-free Reuben recipe delivers everything you love about the classic, with a simple trick to recreate rye flavor using gluten-free bread.
Perfect for lunch, dinner, or whenever you’re craving comfort food without compromising your gluten-free needs.
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 2 slices gluten-free white 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
Directions:
- Toast the gluten-free bread in your Revolution toaster using the gluten-free setting for white bread.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and ground caraway. Microwave for about 20 seconds, until melted. Stir to combine.
- Brush the melted caraway butter evenly onto one side of each slice of bread. This adds a rye-style flavor that’s often missing from gluten-free Reuben sandwiches.
- Spread Russian or Thousand Island dressing over the buttered side of each slice.
- On one slice, layer the Swiss cheese, corned beef, and sauerkraut. Top with the second slice of bread, dressing side down.
- Slice in half and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Reuben:
- Drain the sauerkraut well to prevent soggy bread.
- Choose a sturdy gluten-free bread that can hold up to hearty fillings.
- For extra melt, return the assembled sandwich to a toaster or sandwich press briefly until the cheese softens.

Why This Works for Gluten-Free Bread
Gluten-free bread benefits from even, consistent heat—especially for sandwiches with rich fillings. Using the gluten-free setting helps ensure the bread is crisp without drying out, so every bite stays balanced and satisfying.
