A Keto Reuben Sandwich is a savory and delicious dish without increasing the carb content. We cook this dish by adding a few ingredients, such as sauerkraut, Russian dressing, corned beef, unsweetened ketchup, melted Swiss cheese, keto bread, mayonnaise, and butter. These may already be present in your pantry, or you can easily buy them from stores. These components provide the crispy and cheese flavor to the dish. A Keto Reuben Sandwich is ideal for weekdays, lunch, family events, parties, and dinners. This dish takes almost eighteen minutes to prepare without any difficulties. We don’t recommend storing this dish in the freezer because the texture of the bread and sauerkraut may alter after defrosting. It has 4 g of net carbs in a portion, which is good for a keto diet. These sandwiches are good for preparing in advance.

- The bread, which is made from coconut flour and almond flour, will work better. We can utilize chaffles instead as a substitution if you like to make a firm structure.
SAUERKRAUT:
- Probiotics are added to naturally fermented sauerkraut, which is suitable for a keto diet. Make sure to reduce excess water content.
CORNED BEEF:
