Ingredients for the Perfect Reuben Crescent Bake

Here’s everything you need to make this savory masterpiece:

2 cans crescent roll dough
1 lb corned beef (sliced or shredded, depending on texture preference)
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 ½ cups sauerkraut (drained well to avoid soggy dough)
½ cup Thousand Island dressing
1 egg (beaten, for brushing)
1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, but adds that authentic rye bread flavor)

Pro Tip: For the best texture and flavor, drain the sauerkraut thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. Excess moisture can make the bake soggy.
