Ingredients

12 ounces thinly sliced deli corned beef brisket

1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing, divided

8 slices rye, swirl rye or pumpernickel bread

4 slices Swiss cheese (about 3/4 ounce each)

1 cup drained sauerkraut

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spread 2 teaspoons dressing on each bread slice; cut slices into quarters. Place bread pieces in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until bread is lightly toasted, rotating baking sheets half-way through baking.

2. Meanwhile, cut cheese slices into quarters; cut each quarter diagonally in half to form 32 triangles. Top bread pieces evenly with corned beef, cheese slices and sauerkraut.

3. Heat appetizers for 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top evenly with remaining dressing.
