Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly and squeeze out excess liquid. Combine the sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing in a bowl.
Building the Bake
- Separate the crescent dough into two equal halves. On a lightly floured surface, press and seal the perforations to form a seamless sheet.
- Roll one half to about a 12-inch square. Fit it into the prepared baking dish so it covers the bottom completely. Trim any overhang.
- Bake the bottom crust for 8–10 minutes, until it’s lightly browned. Remove from oven.
- Layer 4 slices of Swiss cheese over the prebaked crust. Add the thinly sliced corned beef in an even layer. Spoon the sauerkraut mixture over the meat. Top with the remaining 4 slices of Swiss.
Finishing and Baking
- Roll out the second half of dough, pinching closed any perforations. Roll to roughly a 9-inch square. Place it over the filling. Press the edges of the top and bottom crusts to seal.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg white for a light sheen. Use a small knife to make a couple of tiny vents in the top so steam can escape.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the top is golden and the cheese is melted. Let the bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
