What You’ll Need for This Recipe
Ingredients:
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough
½ lb corned beef, thinly sliced
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
½ cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
¼ cup Thousand Island dressing
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Reuben Crescent Rolls
Step 1: Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on each triangle.
Layer corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on the wide end of each triangle.
Step 3: Roll and Bake
Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, tucking in the filling.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with caraway seeds if using.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Tips + Tricks for Recipe Success
✔ Drain the Sauerkraut Well – Excess liquid can make the dough soggy.
✔ Don’t Overfill – Too much filling can make rolling tricky and cause leaks.
✔ Brush with Butter – This helps give the rolls a golden, bakery-style finish.
✔ Reheat Leftovers in the Oven – This keeps them crispy instead of soggy.
