Trump Card Cocktail Ruebens


Ingredients:
1/3 c. Thousand Island dressing
1-2 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
32 slices cocktail rye bread
12 oz. thinly sliced corned beef
4 oz. sliced Swiss cheese
Assorted mustards, optional


Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a small bowl, combine dressing and horseradish.  Using half of the butter, lightly brush all of the bread on one side.  Place half of the bread slices on a baking sheet, buttered side down.


Spread the dressing mixture evenly on each side of the bread.  Top with corned beef and then cheese.  Brush remaining slices of bread with remaining butter, and place atop cheese, butter side up.


Bake for 8 minutes.  Turn, and press lightly with a spatula.  Return to the oven and bake 5 minutes more or until golden brown.  Let cool for 5 minutes; cut in half diagonally.  Serve with small bowls of mustards for dipping, if desired.
