Description
This Classic Reuben Bake with Corned Beef, Sauerkraut & Swiss is a warm, savory twist on the classic deli sandwich. Layers of melty Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, seasoned corned beef, and creamy thousand island dressing are sandwiched between golden crescent roll dough for a satisfying oven-baked dish that’s perfect for brunch, dinner, or any cozy gathering.
Ingredients
2 cans crescent roll dough
1 pound sliced corned beef
2 cups drained sauerkraut
2 cups shredded or sliced Swiss cheese
1/2 cup thousand island dressing
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
2. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press into the bottom of the dish, sealing seams.
3. Spread thousand island dressing evenly over the dough base.
4. Layer half the Swiss cheese, then all the corned beef, followed by the sauerkraut. Top with remaining Swiss cheese.
5. Unroll second can of dough and place over the top. Seal edges and seams.
6. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle caraway seeds on top if using.
7. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until top is golden brown.
8. Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a crispier top, use puff pastry instead of crescent dough.
Make sure sauerkraut is well-drained to prevent soggy layers.
Add a fried egg on top to turn leftovers into a brunch dish.
