Description

This Reuben Dip in a Rye Bread Bowl is creamy, tangy, and packed with Reuben sandwich flavors like corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Baked in a hollowed-out rye bread bowl, it’s an irresistible appetizer for sharing.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 round loaf of rye bread (for the bread bowl)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained and patted dry
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup chopped corned beef
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or caraway seeds

Instructions

  • Prepare the Bread Bowl:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Cut the top off the round rye bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a sturdy wall of bread around the edges. Set aside the scooped-out bread pieces for dipping.
  • Make the Dip:
    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and Thousand Island dressing. Mix until smooth.
    • Fold in the sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, and chopped corned beef, stirring until well combined.
  • Assemble and Bake:
    • Spoon the dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  • Serve:
    • Garnish with chopped parsley or caraway seeds if desired. Serve hot with the reserved bread pieces, rye crackers, or veggie sticks for dipping.

Notes

 

  • Make Ahead: Prepare the dip mixture in advance and store in the fridge. When ready to serve, fill the bread bowl and bake as directed.
  • Serving Suggestions: Offer extra dippers like pretzels, bagel crisps, or fresh veggies.
