4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

4. Layer sliced corned beef evenly over each bun, folding as needed.
5. Spoon drained sauerkraut over the meat layer.
6. Add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each slider.
7. Cap each slider with the top half of the pretzel buns.
8. Melt butter and stir in garlic powder, dried parsley, and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
9. Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
10. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top.
11. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.

13. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Press the sauerkraut with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and avoid soggy buns.
If using store-bought dressing, taste and adjust saltiness before assembling.
For the crispiest top, don’t skip the final uncovered bake.
