Notes

Drain the sauerkraut to prevent soggy rolls!  Excess moisture is the enemy of crispy sliders. Press the sauerkraut between paper towels or use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Use quality pastrami or corned beef: Ask your deli counter for freshly sliced meat rather than pre-packaged for better flavor and texture.
Don't skip the butter topping: This is what creates that irresistible golden crust and adds an extra layer of flavor to your sliders.
Make them ahead: You can assemble these sliders up to 24 hours in advance. Keep them covered in the refrigerator and add 3-5 extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
Try different cheese: While Swiss is traditional, you can experiment with provolone or even a sharp white cheddar for a different flavor profile.
