Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Shells
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
Fillings
- 8 ounces sliced corned beef
- 1 cup drained sauerkraut
Dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish sauce
- 1 pinch paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even crisping of the cheese shells.
- Form cheese circles: Portion the shredded Swiss cheese into 8 equal circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use multiple sheets if needed to prevent overcrowding and ensure each circle forms properly.
- Bake cheese shells: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cheese circles for 6 to 8 minutes until their edges turn golden brown and the cheese crisps up nicely.
- Prepare dressing: While the cheese is baking, mix together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, sugar-free ketchup, Swerve confectioners sugar substitute, prepared horseradish sauce, and a pinch of paprika in a bowl until fully combined and emulsified.
- Cool cheese circles: Remove the cheese shells from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet to firm up slightly but remain pliable.
- Add fillings: Place several slices of corned beef and a portion of drained sauerkraut onto each cheese circle, then drizzle with the prepared horseradish dressing.
- Form roll-ups: Quickly fold each cheese circle over the fillings to create roll-ups before the cheese cools completely and becomes too stiff to bend.
- Rest and serve: Let the roll-ups rest briefly so the exterior crisps further, then serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Using parchment paper prevents the cheese from sticking to the baking sheet and helps achieve crispy shells.
- Work quickly when folding cheese shells to avoid cracking as they harden upon cooling.
- Drain sauerkraut well to prevent soggy roll-ups.
- Swerve confectioners sugar substitute keeps the dressing keto-friendly without added sugars.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be briefly reheated in a low oven to restore crispness.
