Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 0.5 pounds (226 grams) corned beef, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) refrigerated crescent dough
- 0.5 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
Flavor Enhancers and Seasonings:
- 0.25 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for the savory rolls.
- Gently unfurl the crescent dough, carefully separating the triangular sections to create individual bases.
- Apply a thin, even layer of Thousand Island dressing across each triangle’s surface to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Distribute corned beef slices evenly, ensuring complete coverage of the dough triangle.
- Layer Swiss cheese strips atop the corned beef, creating a melty foundation.
- Sprinkle a moderate amount of sauerkraut over the cheese, distributing it uniformly.
- Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, forming classic crescent shapes and encasing the fillings.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each roll.
- Delicately brush the exterior with melted butter for a golden, crisp finish.
- Optional: Scatter caraway seeds across the buttered surface for additional aromatic complexity.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake until the rolls transform into a rich, golden-brown color, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow a brief cooling period to let flavors settle and prevent burning.
- Serve warm with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping and enhanced enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the filling by swapping corned beef with turkey or roast beef for a lighter protein option.
- Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent soggy dough and ensure crisp, flaky crescents.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent roll dough and check ingredient labels carefully.
- Prep ingredients in advance and assemble rolls quickly for a stress-free cooking experience.
