Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 1/2 lb sliced corned beef or pastrami
- 1/2 lb sliced Swiss cheese
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
- 1/2 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Unroll half of the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Spread Dijon mustard over the dough. Layer corned beef (or pastrami) evenly, followed by slices of Swiss cheese.
- Evenly distribute the sauerkraut on top of the cheese.
- Drizzle Russian or Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut.
- Unroll the remaining crescent dough and place it on top, pressing the edges to seal.
- Brush melted butter on the top layer and sprinkle with caraway seeds (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Make sure to drain and squeeze the sauerkraut well to avoid excess moisture.
- You can substitute puff pastry for crescent dough for a flakier texture.
- To reheat leftovers, pop them in a 350°F oven to keep the dough crispy.
