🥐 Reuben Crescent Bake
Reuben crescent bake is a savory casserole-style dish that combines the flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich—corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing—inside buttery crescent roll dough. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
🧂 Ingredients (6–8 servings)
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 8 oz Corned beef, chopped or shredded
- ½ cup Sauerkraut, drained and chopped
- 4 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- Optional: 1 tsp caraway seeds for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare crescent dough: Unroll dough onto a greased baking dish. Press seams together to form a single layer.
- Layer filling: Spread corned beef evenly, then sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and drizzle with dressing.
- Fold or roll: Fold dough edges over the filling or roll it like a jelly roll, depending on your pan and preference.
- Bake: 20–25 minutes, or until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Slice into squares or wedges and garnish with caraway seeds if desired.
💡 Tips
- Use well-drained sauerkraut to avoid soggy dough.
- Add a little mustard for extra tang.
- Perfect for potlucks or game-day snacks because it can be made ahead and reheated.
- Substitute crescent dough with puff pastry for a flakier texture.
