Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
6 slices corned beef, chopped
6 slices Swiss cheese
½ cup sauerkraut, drained well
¼ cup Thousand Island dressing
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, for extra Reuben flavor)
1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions:
Prep the Dough
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
Pinch the seams together to form a solid rectangle.
Layer the Filling
Spread the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the dough.
Lay down Swiss cheese slices in a single layer.
Add chopped corned beef on top of the cheese.
Evenly distribute the sauerkraut (make sure it’s well-drained to prevent sogginess).
Roll & Seal
Carefully roll up the dough from the shorter side, like a jelly roll.
Pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds (if using).
Air Fry
Place the roll seam-side down in the air fryer basket (use parchment paper to prevent sticking).
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Halfway through cooking, brush with melted butter for extra crispiness.
Serve & Enjoy
Let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice into pieces.
Serve with extra Thousand Island dressing or mustard for dipping.
Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and savory Reuben Crescent Bake!
Tips & Variations:
Extra crispy crust – Air fry at 375°F for the last 2 minutes.
Add more flavors – Mix horseradish or Dijon mustard into the dressing.
Use puff pastry – For a flakier texture, swap crescent dough with puff pastry.
Make individual rolls – Wrap each ingredient separately in crescent dough for bite-sized portions.
