Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup corned beef, chopped
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 0.5 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it out onto a large baking sheet, pressing the seams together to create a solid sheet.
  3. In a bowl, mix the chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, and dressing. Stir until well combined, then season with salt, pepper, and caraway seeds if using.
  4. Spread the corned beef mixture evenly over the crescent dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal the ends. Use your fingers or a fork to crimp the seams for a decorative look.
  6. Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish while baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  8. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

💡 Chef's Notes

Cut into squares or triangles and serve warm on a platter, garnished with extra dressing on the side for dipping. Adding a sprinkle of fresh parsley can also enhance the visual appeal.
