Crescent Reuben Bake

Preparing the Reuben Crescent Bake

1. Preheat the Oven: First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking later.
2. Unrolling the Crescent Dough: Lay out the two tubes of crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Gently unroll the dough, being careful not to tear it. You should end up with eight triangles from each tube.
3. Layering the Fillings: On each crescent triangle, layer a slice of corned beef, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese. Top the cheese with a spoonful of sauerkraut and drizzle some Thousand Island dressing over it. If you prefer a more pronounced flavor, you can sprinkle some caraway seeds on top.
4. Rolling Up the Crescents: Carefully roll up each crescent triangle starting from the wide end and tuck in any loose ends to secure the fillings within the dough.
5. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the rolled-up crescents. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked.
6. Optional Poppy Seeds: For added visual appeal and a slight nutty taste, you can sprinkle some poppy seeds over the crescents before baking.
7. Arranging on Baking Sheet: Place the prepared crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave enough space between them to allow for slight expansion during baking.
8. Baking Time: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the Reuben Crescent Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once the crescents are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, serve them warm, and watch as your family and friends delight in this scrumptious dish!
