Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Begin by unrolling one tube of crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a rectangle, taking care to seal all seams and perforations thoroughly. Transfer this dough to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, gently pressing it along the bottom and slightly up the sides.

2. Place the bottom crust in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until it achieves a light golden brown color. While it bakes, prepare your filling ingredients.

3. Once the bottom crust is pre-baked, layer half of the Swiss cheese evenly over it. Follow with all of the sliced corned beef, arranging it in an even layer.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the well-drained sauerkraut with the Thousand Island dressing, stirring until everything is evenly mixed. Spread this mixture carefully over the corned beef layer.

5. Top the sauerkraut mixture with the remaining Swiss cheese. Roll out the second tube of crescent dough into a rectangle that matches the size of your baking dish, sealing any seams and perforations carefully.

6. Gently place the second dough layer over the cheese. Brush the top thoroughly with beaten egg white and sprinkle evenly with caraway seeds.

7. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 12-16 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and the casserole is heated through completely.

8. Let your Reuben Bake stand for 5 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the layers to set slightly, making it easier to cut and serve clean, beautiful portions.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat individual portions in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

For best results, avoid microwaving as it can make the crust soggy.

Let come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before reheating.

Not recommended for freezing due to the sauerkraut and cheese content.
