Ingredients (Serves 6-8)
- 2 cans crescent roll dough 🥐
- 1 lb corned beef, sliced or shredded 🥩
- 8 slices Swiss cheese 🧀
- 1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, well-drained
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing) 🥚
- 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Assemble the Bake
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish, sealing any perforations.
- Layer half of the Swiss cheese, followed by the corned beef, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing.
- Add the remaining Swiss cheese on top.
- Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it over the filling, pinching the edges to seal everything inside.
Step 3: Bake
- Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
- Sprinkle caraway seeds over the top if desired.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the bake cool for about 5 minutes to allow the layers to set. Slice into squares and serve warm.
Tips for Success
- Drain the sauerkraut well to prevent the bake from becoming soggy.
- Customize it! Swap corned beef for pastrami or turkey for a different twist.
- Pair it with sides like pickles, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
