Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

  3. In a bowl, mix together the sauerkraut and thousand island salad dressing until well combined.

  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it in half. Place one half of the dough on a floured work surface and pinch the perforations closed to make one sheet.

  5. Roll out the dough sheet to about 12 inches square and fit it into the prepared baking dish.

  6. Pinch the perforations closed on the second half of the dough, roll it out to about 9 inches square, and set it aside.

  7. Prebake the dough crust in the baking dish in the preheated oven until lightly browned, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.

  8. Remove the baking dish from the oven and place 4 slices of cheese into the bottom of the crust.

  9. Top the cheese slices with the corned beef and spread the sauerkraut mixture over the corned beef.

  10. Lay the remaining 4 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut mixture.

  11. Lay the second sheet of crescent roll dough onto the filled baking dish and press the top crust down onto the edges of the dish to seal.

  12. Brush the top crust with beaten egg white.
