Reuben Crescent Bake

To prepare a delicious Reuben Crescent Bake, follow these simple steps:

Ingredients:

• 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1/2 pound deli sliced corned beef
• 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Caraway seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll package (usually around 375°F or 190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly.
2. Lay out the crescent rolls in the baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid sheet of dough. This will be the bottom crust of your Reuben Crescent Bake.
3. Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing over the crescent roll dough, covering the entire surface.
4. Layer the corned beef slices evenly over the dressing. You can tear or cut the slices to fit if needed.
5. Next, spread the sauerkraut evenly over the corned beef layer.
6. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top, making sure it covers the sauerkraut layer evenly.
7. If you like, you can sprinkle some caraway seeds over the cheese for added flavor (optional).

1. Now, take the remaining crescent roll dough and arrange it on top of the cheese layer. Again, press the seams together to seal the dough.
2. Brush the top layer of crescent roll dough with the beaten egg. This will give your Reuben Crescent Bake a nice golden-brown color when it bakes.
3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the crescent roll crust turns golden brown.
4. Once the Reuben Crescent Bake is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
5. Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Reuben Crescent Bake!

Note: You can customize this recipe according to your taste preferences. Some people like to add a little extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping, and others enjoy adding a layer of Russian dressing or spicy mustard for extra flavor. Feel free to experiment and make it your own!
