This is such a leisurely lunch or dinner. Reubens are perfect in the air fryer. I had been making them for years before I purchased my first air fryer. So, it was one of my first attempts at making an Air Fryer Reuben Sandwich.
The words to describe the sandwich is juicy and delicious. Today, I used rye bread slices, with corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing—the classic Reuben sandwich.
What is a Reuben Sandwich?
A classic Reuben sandwich contains the following:
- Corned Beef
- Swiss Cheese
- Sauerkraut
- Russian Dressing
- Rye Bread
The sandwich has always been grilled using a skillet. Today, I opted for my air fryer, which created an excellent lunch for the entire family.
Ingredients For A Rueben Sandwich
Meat: Corned beef is traditionally used, although I know a few of my readers love pastrami in the sandwich.
Sauerkraut-
Dressing: Rusian dressing is usually used by Thousand Island works well too.
Cheese: Typically, it is Swiss cheese, which melts really well in the air fryer.
After you spread the Russian dressing on one side of the bread, add your sliced corned beef
Then add the sauerkraut on top
Then add the cheese
Top it off with the other piece of bread, add it your Air Fryer basket, and spray it with non-stick cooking spray
Air fryer it at 390 degrees F, for 4 minutes, then flip and do another 3 minutes. (spray the other side, when you flip)
Tips For Making A Reuben Sandwich-
Bread: Rye bread really makes a better sandwich, especially when using the air fryer, since it’s dense. It makes air frying easier, especially flipping the sandwich.
Sauerkraut: Drain the sauerkraut well, otherwise it will make your sandwich soggy.
Meat: As mentioned before the classic meat for Reubens is corned beef, but you can substitute it out for pastrami.
Dressing: Classic Russian dressing is used, but some people really love it with Thousand Island.
