1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
Cooking spray or parchment paper

2. Layer 4 slices of Swiss cheese over the dough.
3. Evenly distribute the sliced corned beef over the cheese.
4. Spread the drained sauerkraut on top of the meat.
5. Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the sauerkraut.
6. Place the remaining Swiss cheese slices over the top.
7. Unroll the second can of crescent dough and lay it over the top, sealing edges and seams.
8. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle caraway seeds if using.

Notes
Be sure to drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to avoid a soggy crust.
Let the crescent dough rest at room temperature before unrolling to make it easier to handle.
Brush the top with egg wash for a shiny, golden finish.
