Reuben Crescent Bake Flavorful and Easy Recipe
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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it out onto a large baking sheet, pressing the seams together to create a solid sheet.
- 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.
- Spread the corned beef mixture evenly over the crescent dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- 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.
- Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
- 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.
