Oh boy, I hope the Purists don't get after me on this one, but today I cooked a Reuben Sandwich in my air fryer. I have to say I really love making grilled sandwiches in my air fryer.
The bread ends up lovely and crispy, not a soggy piece of bread in sight. Buttery, crisp and generously filled, this was a delicious sandwich to sink my teeth into! I highly recommend it!

I thought I would share a little bit of history with you this morning about where the Reuben Sandwich got its beginnings, but wow, what a can of worms, with no less than two or three places claiming to have invented it! I don't want to touch that with a ten-foot pole.
Suffice it to say, it is a delicious sandwich, consisting of rye bread spread with thousand island dressing, and layered with plenty of corned beef/pastrami, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese.

The first Reuben Sandwich I ever tasted was when I was a very young woman and had moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba. I fell in love at first bite. What's not to love about a hot sandwich piled high with smoked/corned meat, cheese and sauerkraut!
I have also been lucky enough to enjoy this iconic sandwich in Montreal and in Toronto. My ex-sister-in-law was married to a Jewish man and lived in the Jewish part of Toronto, off Avenue Road. Oh boy, she used to get the best bagels at Gryfe's bakery.

She would bring them home in big paper bags. Two or three dozen of them. All nice and still warm from the oven. They were the best bagels I have ever eaten and have ruined me from ever enjoying another bagel quite the same.
We enjoyed them with smoked salmon and cream cheese and were in bagel heaven.

There is no place where I live now to get a good Bagel, or even a good Reuben sandwich. Even the rye bread is suspect, lol
But I did try to make one as best as I could with what was available, and it really was delicious.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE AN AIR FRYER REUBEN SANDWICH
You do need a few specialized ingredients. Buy the best that you can of these, and you won't be disappointed.
- 2 slices rye bread
- softened butter to spread on the outside
- 1 TBS Thousand Island Dressing
- 1/4 pound (4 ounces/115g) thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami
- 3 ounces (85g) sauerkraut rinsed and drained well (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 thin slices of Swiss cheese

I used Chris Brother's Pastrami to make my sandwich. He makes pretty good Deli meats here in the Maritime provinces. I made my own thousand island dressing from scratch.
It is very easily done. With a bit of mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, onion, vinegar, salt and pepper. You can find some really good recipes online. I used this one here.
I used PC Swiss Cheese. You could get by with only one slice, but I thought two gave much better coverage. Also, buy the best sauerkraut that you can buy and make sure it is really drained well.
HOW TO MAKE AN AIR FRYER REUBEN SANDWICH
Nothing really could be easier. I have a Kuraidori Air Fryer that I purchased at my local Home Hardware.
Spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. Flip over and spread half of the thousand island dressing on each slice.
Top one slice of bread with the corned beef. Top that with the sauerkraut and then the cheese slices. Place the other slice of bread on top, dressing side down, butter side up.
Place into the basket of your air fryer. Place the basket in the air fryer.
Air fry for 4 minutes at 390*F/198*C. Carefully flip over and continue to air fry at 390*F/198*C for a further 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Cut in half on the diagonal to serve.

This was really delicious. Not quite on par with a true Reuben that you might get in a restaurant, but something which I really enjoyed, nevertheless.
If I make it again and I probably will, I may add a bit more Thousand Island dressing, but over-all it was really tasty. I loved the crisp and buttery toasted bread and there was just enough filling without going over the top.
The flavors might also be enhanced by warming up the meat and the sauerkraut first as well. I adapted this recipe from one that I found on Fork to Spoon for The Best Air Fryer Reuben Sandwich. The original recipe made four servings.

Some other Diner Style sandwich recipes on here that you might also enjoy are:
BAKED WESTERN SANDWICH - With oven hash. The egg, ham and vegetable filling for these delicious sandwiches bakes on one small, rimmed oven tray, ready to be cut and tucked between slices of hot buttered toast and served alongside of crisp edged oven roasted potatoes and onions. Delicious!
THE ULTRA TURKEY CLUB SANDWICH - Another hefty diner favorite with three slices of toasted bread, plenty of sliced turkey, lettuce, mayo, crisp streaky bacon, ripe juicy tomato and real cheddar cheese. One sandwich serves two people amply. If you know you are only going to be eating half a sandwich you can afford to fill this tasty sandwich generously!
CLASSIC TUNA SALAD - Lunch doesn't get much better than this old classic. What you have here is a delicious tuna salad filling made with beautiful albacore white tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, minced onion, lemon juice and seasoning on soft buttered white bread. This is the sandwich of my childhood. Delicious and comforting.

Thanks so much for visiting! Do come again!
There are some nights when I really don't fancy having a cooked dinner. Living by myself as I do, that really isn't a problem these days. I can eat what I want, when I want. I have nobody to answer to but myself.
Today was one of those days when I really didn't fancy cooking much. I have a lot on my plate today with one thing or another and tomorrow looks to be the same. I did have to pop to the shops to pick up a few bits for the cats.

I decided right then and there I was going to come home and make myself a Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich for my dinner! And that's just what I did!
.JPG "Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich")
Traditionally a club sandwich will be made using three slices of bread, toasted. Into that will go turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce and sometimes even sliced cheese.
Whenever we went out to eat for lunch my ex husband would always get a turkey club. It was his meal of choice when eating out. (With me its always fish and chips.)
.JPG "Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich")
I knew I had everything else at home to complete the sandwich. You could make this a bit healthier by using low fat mayo, but lets face it . . . you've already lost it with the bacon and the croissant!!
.JPG "Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich")
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A CROISSANT TURKEY CLUB SANDWICH
Quantities are given for one delicious sandwich. To make more simply multiply by the number of sandwiches you want to make.
- 1 fresh all butter croissant
- 2 TBS good quality mayonnaise
- 3 slices streaky bacon
- 3 ounces (85g) thinly sliced smoked turkey
- 3 slices of ripe tomato
- medium sized handful of finely shredded romaine lettuce
- salt and black pepper to taste (remember the bacon and turkey will be salty)
.JPG "Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich")
The croissant were on the small side, which made them perfect for this sandwich. They were also almost closed together into a circle, which also made them very sandwich friendly.
I just happened to have some already cooked bacon in the freezer, so it was a simple matter of quickly thawing it out to use in the sandwich. It was very thin bacon which is why I used 3 slices. If your bacon is really thick you may want to only use two.
I cut my tomato very thin. I also shredded my lettuce fairly thin.
.JPG "Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich")
If you are not a fan of turkey you could use sliced/shaved ham in its place. You could also add a slice of cheese if you wanted to. I would recommend swiss cheese.
I did not butter the croissant. I felt that as I was eating the sandwich right away, it was not really needed.
Usually when you are making sandwiches ahead of time a layer of butter is added to form a barrier between the fillings and the bread. This helps to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

HOW TO MAKE A CROISSANT TURKEY CLUB SANDWICH
It may seem a bit moot for me to be telling you how to make a sandwich, but there might be someone out there who needs some help in this area so do bear with me!
Cook the bacon in a skillet until your desired doneness. I like it crisp. Drain on some paper towels.
Using a serrated knife cut the croissant in half horizontally. Spread the cut sides of each half with mayonnaise.
.JPG "Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich")
Place the bottom half on a plate. Top with half the lettuce. Place the tomato slices on top of the lettuce. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper if desired. Remember both the bacon and the turkey will be salty. I tend to use only pepper.
Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise and place on top of the tomato. Pile the smoked turkey on top of the bacon.
.JPG "Croissant Turkey Club Sandwich")
Finish off with the remainder of the lettuce and place the top half of the croissant on top of the lettuce, mayonnaise side down. Cut in half and enjoy!
If you are really hungry a few potato chips on the side would be nice, or even some crisp vegetable sticks for a healthier choice!

I am a person who is always happy to have a sandwich, be it for lunch or for supper. Here are some of my favorite sandwiches:
Baked Western Sandwich - An egg omelet with onions, peppers and chopped ham, baked and then sandwiched between two slices of buttered toast.
Grilled Steak Sandwich - thin slices of steak, perfectly seasoning and served on an open face slice of toasted rustic bread, topped with grilled mushrooms and some fresh rocket salad leaves.
Cob Sandwich - all the beautiful tastes of a delicious cob salad with cheese, boiled egg, ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato tucked into two slices of a toasted rustic loaf!
Classic Tuna Salad - it speaks for itself. Sandwiches don't get much better than this old lunch time classic!

That is by no stretch the full list of sandwiches I have posted on here. I am a real sandwich aficionado for sure! Just put the word sandwich into the search and see what comes up!
My eyes were indeed too big for my stomach here and I could not finish it. I made a great attempt however! This was incredibly delicious to say the least!

I am always a mix of dubious and excited when I come across something which claims to be the world's greatest anything, especially when it comes to food. Taste is something which is essentially a very personal thing, and what is my idea of the tastiest is not necessarily somebody else's idea of tastiness!
I am a person who is a huge fan of the hot sandwich. Well, in all honesty, I am a fan of any kind of sandwich really, but a hot sandwich gets my taste buds tingling in a really special way.
Especially when you start talking about hot ham and cheese sandwiches in foil. I always used to enjoy making Heavenly Ham & Cheese Hots for the missionaries when they came over to eat. But it is a hot sandwich for a crowd, and I am no longer a crowd.

But why shouldn't single people be able to enjoy the same types of foods as families or crowds? Why indeed! I have been on a quest over these past months to small batch some of my favorite eats for the smaller family.
This hot ham sandwich recipe I am sharing with you today is sized perfectly for one, although if you are more than one, you can certainly multiply it to feed as many people as you like, or even check out the recipe link I dropped above which makes 12 sliders.

This version is slightly different in that it uses a nice fresh Kaiser roll. Today I chose poppy seed. It also included sweet caramelized onions and crisp slices of smoky bacon.
This is the full deal! And yes, incredibly delicious!
.JPG "Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich with Bacon & Caramelized Onions")
I do not want to fall into the rut of eating frozen dinners or simply grazing, or eating out just because there is just me in the house. I shouldn't have to wait until I have people invited over to cook a nice meal.
There is no reason on earth why a singleton shouldn't eat as well as a family eats.
This is my quest at any rate and I am sure that there are many of you out there who have the same challenge, which is to cook decent, delicious meals for one or two.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE HOT HAM & CHEESE SANDWHICH
with bacon and caramelized onions
I have managed to downsize the original and make it even tastier with a few special additions.
- 2 slices of bacon, fried until crisp (or as you desire)
- 1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- pinch sugar
- 2 TBS butter, divided
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 fresh Kaiser roll
- 4 slices deli ham
- 2 slices deli swiss cheese
.JPG "Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich with Bacon & Caramelized Onions")
I am often able to buy bacon marked down because it is at its sell by date. I will usually pick up two packages. One package I will cook the whole thing. I then it into an airtight container with wax paper between the layers and freeze it, ready to take out when I have a need or a use for it.
This is much cheaper than buying the already cooked bacon in the shops, which is expensive and incredibly thinly sliced!
The other package I will open up, roll each slice up tightly and pop them all into an air tight zip lock baggie in a single layer, ready to take out one or two slices as and when I need it. It also chops incredibly well when frozen in the way for recipes that require your bacon to be chopped. I chop it while its still frozen!
%20-%20Copy.JPG "Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich with Bacon & Caramelized Onions")
The only faffy bit about this is caramelizing the onion. I suppose if you wanted to and were thinking straight, you could slice up a whole lot of onions and caramelize them, and then freeze them in small containers for later use.
Or, if it was available to you, you could use a caramelized onion chutney. Now that would be especially good. I miss all the different chutneys that were available in the UK. There are not a lot on offer here in Canada, although I suppose I could make my own.
I actually have plans to make a mango chutney next time mangos are on offer. I love mango chutney. Its one of the first things we learned how to make in Culinary College.

HOW TO MAKE HOT HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH
with bacon & caramelized onions
These really are very easy to make. Probably the most time consuming part is the caramelizing of the onions. If you are not keen you can always leave them out, but I highly recommend you do make them as they really add to the deliciousness of this tasty sandwich!
Preheat the oven to 350*F/180*C/ gas mark 4.
While the oven is preheating, melt half the butter in a small skillet. Once it begins to foam add the sliced onions and a pinch of sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have begun to caramelize.
%20-%20Copy.JPG "Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich with Bacon & Caramelized Onions")
Melt the remaining butter in a small dish in the microwave. Whisk in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Have ready a large square of aluminum foil.
Cut your bun in half through the middle, horizontally. Brush both sides of the bottom half of the bun with some of the butter/mustard mixture.
Layer as follows. ham, cheese, onions, bacon.
%20-%20Copy.JPG "Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich with Bacon & Caramelized Onions")
Brush both sides of the top half of the bun with the butter/mustard mixture. Place on top of the sandwich, cut side down.
Place into the middle of the square of foil. Bring all of the sides of the foil up to cover the bun completely and twist to close.
Place onto a small baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sandwich is heated through and the cheese has melted.
Enjoy it while its hot.
%20-%20Copy.JPG "Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich with Bacon & Caramelized Onions")
This really is a delicious sandwich. I love the combination of salty and sweet. The saltiness of the bacon and the ham, the sweetness of the caramelized onions and the swiss cheese.
If you wanted to you could use honey mustard Dijon instead of plain Dijon. That would also be incredibly tasty!
You need only add some crisp vegetable sticks on the side and you have a really decent meal. Hearty and delicious and very easy to make!

ITALIAN BAKED SANDWICH -These are so delicious and easy to make. You can make one large one, or small individuals. Tasty either way you do it! With mayonnaise, mustard, layers of Italian cold cuts and cheese. All baked together in a toasty bun. Yummilicious!
ULTIMATE MEATLOAF SANDWICH - Not just any old meatloaf sandwich but a delicious combination of slices of leftover meatloaf, browned in a skillet and tucked between slices of crusty bread with lettuce, cheese and homemade onion rings. Delicious!
BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICH - Leftover cooked chicken, heated up in some BBQ sauce and piled between layers of toasty bun with some crisp, cool and creamy coleslaw. Fabulously tasty!
