Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Circles
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
Filling
- 8 ounces sliced corned beef
- 1 cup drained sauerkraut
Dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish sauce
- 1 pinch paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the cheese circles.
- Form Cheese Circles: Evenly portion the shredded Swiss cheese into 8 equal circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use two baking sheets if needed to prevent overcrowding which can affect crisping.
- Bake Cheese Circles: Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese circles turn a golden brown and the cheese becomes crisp.
- Prepare Dressing: While the cheese bakes, combine the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, sugar-free ketchup, Swerve confectioners sugar substitute, prepared horseradish sauce, and a pinch of paprika in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until the dressing is fully emulsified and smooth.
- Cool Cheese Circles: Remove the baked cheese circles from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 1 minute so they can set slightly and remain pliable.
- Add Filling: Place several slices of corned beef on each cheese circle, then top with a portion of drained sauerkraut. Drizzle a bit of the prepared dressing over the filling to add richness and flavor.
- Fold Roll-Ups: Quickly fold each cheese circle over the filling to create roll-ups before the cheese cools too much and becomes rigid.
- Rest and Serve: Let the roll-ups rest briefly to allow the exterior to crisp further, then serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the cheese is spread evenly and not too thick for optimal crispiness.
- Use well-drained sauerkraut to avoid soggy roll-ups.
- Work quickly when folding the cheese as it hardens as it cools.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be briefly reheated in a skillet to restore crispiness.
- Swerve confectioners sugar substitute can be replaced with any keto-friendly sweetener.
