Here’s a simple recipe for a Reuben Crescent Bake:
Ingredients:
- 2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
- ¾ lb sliced corned beef, chopped
- 8 oz Swiss cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained well
- ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the crescent rolls: Unroll one can of crescent dough and line the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to form one solid layer.
- Layer the filling:
- Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing over the dough.
- Evenly layer the chopped corned beef on top of the dressing.
- Sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the corned beef.
- Add the drained sauerkraut over the cheese.
- Top with dough: Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it over the sauerkraut, pressing the seams together to seal.
- Brush with egg wash: Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish when baked. If you like, sprinkle caraway seeds over the top for extra flavor.
- Bake: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the dough and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious Reuben Crescent Bake!
