How to Make Breakfast Reubens

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add frozen hash browns (amount as needed to create 4-6 patties) and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  3. Carefully remove hash browns from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Lightly butter an 11x7x2-inch baking pan.
  6. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup sauerkraut and 1/4 cup applesauce.
  7. Set the sauerkraut mixture aside.
  8. Arrange the hash brown patties in the prepared baking pan. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on top of each patty.
  9. Layer each hash brown patty with: 3 slices pastrami (approx. 3 oz total per patty), a generous spoonful of the sauerkraut mixture, 1 tablespoon Thousand Island dressing, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the hash browns are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
