Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Base:
- 1 (8 oz) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling:
- 1/2 pound sliced corned beef
- 1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
Additional:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Assemble Base: Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, pinching the seams together to form a solid base.
- Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the Thousand Island dressing with Dijon mustard. Spread half of the dressing mixture over the dough.
- Layer: Layer with half the cheese, followed by the corned beef, sauerkraut, and remaining cheese. Drizzle the rest of the dressing over the top.
- Top and Bake: Unroll a second crescent dough tube and place over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds if using. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well to prevent sogginess.
- For a shortcut, use deli-sliced corned beef and pre-shredded cheese.
- This bake is great for lunch, dinner, or even as a party appetizer when cut into smaller pieces.
