Hot Reuben Sandwich Dip

While this isn’t the prettiest dip in the world, it is incredibly tasty. The toasted Pumpernickel bread really takes it to the next level. You can toast them until they are pliable (6-7 minutes), or if you prefer, until they are extra crunchy (about 10 minutes). We tried both and both were great.

One thing that I love about this recipe is that it is flexible. If you have extra Swiss cheese and prefer it to be extra cheesy, toss it in. Extra pastrami? Go for it. I adapted a recipe from I Wash You Dry for my dip, cutting down the cream cheese from 2 block to 1 since we are not feeding a huge crowd here.
Enjoy!
