Ingredients
- Crescent roll dough (store-bought)
- Thinly sliced corned beef
- Swiss cheese slices
- Sauerkraut (well drained)
- Thousand Island dressing
- Preheat and prepare your baking sheet: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Assemble the rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. On each triangle, layer a slice of corned beef, a spoonful of sauerkraut (drained if needed), a slice of Swiss cheese, and a light drizzle of Thousand Island dressing.
- Roll and seal: Carefully roll each triangle up starting from the wide end, tucking in the filling as you go. Make sure to seal the edges by pinching the dough together so none of the filling leaks out while baking.
- Bake to golden perfection: Place the assembled rolls on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set, making them easier to handle—and absolutely scrumptious to eat!
Notes
- Drain sauerkraut well: Reducing excess moisture prevents soggy rolls and helps maintain a flaky crust.
- Use quality deli meat: Fresh, thinly sliced corned beef makes a big difference in flavor and texture.
- Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause leaks; keep it moderate for neat and tasty results.
- Brush with butter: A light brush of melted butter on top before baking adds an extra golden, crispy finish.
- Serve warm: These are best fresh out of the oven for the melty cheese and soft dough experience.
