Reuben Crescent Bake

Step 3: Add the Classic Reuben Fillings

1️⃣ Spread the Thousand Island Dressing evenly over the crescent dough.
2️⃣ Layer half of the Swiss cheese slices on top of the dressing.
3️⃣ Evenly distribute the corned beef over the cheese.
4️⃣ Spread the drained sauerkraut over the meat.
5️⃣ Top with the remaining Swiss cheese slices for ultimate meltiness!

🚀 Pro Tip: If you love extra tang, mix a little Dijon mustard with the dressing before spreading it on the dough.

Step 4: Top with the Second Crescent Layer

1️⃣ Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it over the top of the fillings.
2️⃣ Pinch the edges together to seal the layers.
3️⃣ Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden, shiny crust.
4️⃣ Sprinkle caraway seeds over the top for that authentic rye bread flavor.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

✅ Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
✅ Brush the freshly baked top with melted butter for extra richness.
✅ Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

🍽 Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm.
🥄 Offer extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
🧀 Pair with pickles, coleslaw, or potato chips for a complete meal!

🥪 Tips for the Best Reuben Crescent Bake

✔ Drain the Sauerkraut Well – Excess moisture can make the bake soggy. Use paper towels to absorb extra liquid.
✔ Bake the Bottom Layer First – If you want a crispier base, pre-bake it for 5 minutes before adding fillings.
✔ Use Rye Crescent Dough – If available, this enhances the classic Reuben flavor!
✔ Make It Spicy – Add spicy brown mustard or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for extra kick.
✔ Store Leftovers Properly – Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for crispiness.
