This Reuben Crescent Bake is a warm and hearty dish that captures all the flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich in a buttery crescent roll crust. It’s perfect for family dinners, brunch, or a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Ingredients
(Serves 6–8)
2 (8 oz each) tubes of crescent roll dough
1 pound (450g) thinly sliced deli corned beef, chopped
1 (14 oz) can sauerkraut, well-drained and patted dry
2 cups (200g) shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup (120ml) Thousand Island dressing
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Base
Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pinch the seams together to create an even layer.
Step 3: Layer the Filling
Sprinkle half of the shredded Swiss cheese over the crescent roll base.
Evenly layer the chopped corned beef over the cheese.
Spread the sauerkraut on top of the corned beef, followed by the Thousand Island dressing.
Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese over the top.
Step 4: Add the Top Layer
Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the filling. Pinch the edges together to seal.
Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish. Sprinkle with caraway seeds, if desired.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the bake cool for 5–10 minutes to set before slicing into squares.
Serve warm, and enjoy with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
Pro Tips
Drain the Sauerkraut: Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent the bake from becoming soggy.
Customize It: Use pastrami instead of corned beef, or add a layer of cooked onions for extra flavor.
Make It Mini: Use crescent roll dough to create individual pockets for bite-sized Reuben crescent bakes.
