Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Crust:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Layers:
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1/2 pound sliced deli corned beef
- 1 cup well-drained sauerkraut
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Crust: Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the dish to form a crust.
- Add Layers: Spread half of the Thousand Island dressing over the dough. Layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the cheese.
- Add Top Layer: Unroll another sheet of crescent dough over the top. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle caraway seeds if using.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Let it rest before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use Russian dressing instead of Thousand Island.
- For crispiness, bake uncovered on the center rack.
- Thoroughly drain sauerkraut to avoid a soggy bottom crust.
- Great with pickles or a side salad.
