Ingredients

Scale
  • Kaiser rolls or slider buns (rye buns recommended)
  • Thinly sliced corned beef (about 2 ounces per slider)
  • Swiss cheese slices
  • Sauerkraut, drained (small-curd style preferred)
  • Butter, melted (for toasting buns)
  • For the Thousand Island aioli:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Thousand Island aioli: In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Add ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  3. Slice the Kaiser rolls or slider buns in half horizontally. Spread a thin layer of melted butter on the cut sides.
  4. Lay out the bottom halves of the buns on a baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of the Thousand Island aioli evenly over each bottom bun.
  5. Layer on the fillings: Add about 2 ounces of thinly sliced corned beef per slider, followed by a generous spoonful of drained sauerkraut, and top with a slice of Swiss cheese.
  6. Spread another tablespoon of the aioli on the top halves of the buns. Place them over the assembled sliders, aioli side down.
  7. Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter.
  8. Cover the sliders loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sliders are warmed through.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the tops.
  10. Serve hot, ideally right out of the oven.

Notes

Drain and lightly press sauerkraut to avoid soggy buns. Melt butter gently to avoid burning. Use deli-sliced corned beef for even heating. Brush buns with butter for a crispy crust. Assemble sliders ahead and bake before serving for convenience.
