Halloumi Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich (on Gluten Free Bread), oh my. How many ways can you say "yum"? Halloumi cheese, sometimes spelled Haloumi, is the amazing Greek cheese that you can fry or deep fry and it doesn't melt.

Want a Halloumi Cheese & Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich On Rye?

What will you do with all that left-over Baked Corned Beef you have from St. Patrick's Day? Make a Reuben, of course! I like mine with Halloumi cheese and gluten free bread. Use whatever bread and cheese you like. (Swiss is good too!)

Corned Beef Reuben Sandwiches

We recently enjoyed Reuben sandwiches for supper, along with Colcannon, a delightful side dish of mashed potatoes mixed with fried cabbage, onions and bacon. (Yes, my favorite, bacon.) What a delicious supper. I'm sure it's about a million calories, though, so it's a good thing we only eat this meal once a year!

Here are two kinds of Reubens: Halloumi Gluten Free Corned Beef Reuben (left) and Classic Corned Beef Reuben (right), both served with Colcannon.

Classic Reuben vs. Halloumi Gluten Free Corned Beef Reuben 

Don had a Classic Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich and I had a Halloumi Gluten Free Corned Beef Sandwich. For my sandwich, I substituted gluten free bread and Halloumi cheese for the traditional rye bread and Swiss cheese.

Have you had Halloumi cheese? It's SO good. Kind of like salty mozzarella, but made from goat's and sheep's milk so I can eat it because it doesn't contain the A1 protein. It's an interesting cheese that you can fry and it doesn't melt. It gets nice and brown. My friend Claudia at Live Like a Goddess introduced me to this cheese. (Thanks, Claudia!)

Anyway, it worked great for my Reuben.

This time, I took the lazy way out and used a bottled Thousand Island dressing. But I highly recommend that you make your own Russian Dressing because it is super good and easy to make. If you like grilled cheese and corned beef, I think you're gonna wanna eat this. Halloumi cheese is amazing.

What You Need

Every kitchen should have the very best tools you can afford. At the least, buy yourself the best set of chef's knives you can afford. What really works great is a panini grill. We love ours.
