This stacked-up take on a reuben is the ticket for savoury brunch lovers.

400g cooked corned beef (from delis), thinly sliced
2 cups (280g) sauerkraut
1/4 cup (50g) pickled onions, roughly chopped
1 bunch dill, fronds picked
1/3 cup (95g) Dijon mustard
1/3 cup (100g) mayonnaise
2 tsp honey
6 plain bagels, split
200g d’Affinois cheese or triple-cream Brie, cut into four equal pieces
Pickled cucumbers, to serve

Bay glaze

4 bay leaves
4 whole cloves
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 firmly packed cup (80g) brown sugar

Method

1.

Preheat the oven grill to medium.
2.

For the glaze, place all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Pour 2 tbs glaze into a bowl and toss with corned beef. Set remaining glaze aside.
3.

Combine the sauerkraut, onion and dill in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the mustard, mayonnaise and honey. Set aside.
4.

Place bagels, cut-side up, on a baking tray. Divide cheese among bases of the bagels. Grill for 3-4 minutes until bagels are golden and cheese is melted and bubbling.
5.

Turn bagel tops and cook for a further 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Working quickly, remove bagels from grill and brush tops with remaining glaze.
6.

To assemble, spoon the mustard mayo over cheese, top with corned beef, sauerkraut mixture, and finish with glazed bun lid. Serve with pickles on the side.
