Reuben Roll Ups

As soon as I saw this recipe on Spend with Pennies, I knew it was something I wanted to make for us.   We love reuben sandwiches and we love croissants and I just knew that we would be really happy with these.   I strongly suspect that the original recipe came from Pillsbury, but that is not where I found it.  I did adapt it slightly to the kinds of ingredients which we have available to us here in the UK, but I have also included the North American ones in my recipe write up. ☺



its really quite a simple recipe.  Refrigerated Croissant Rolls are spread with some Thousand Island Salad Dressing and then topped with corned beef (I used Pastrami, but you could also use salt beef), sauerkraut, and swiss cheese, and then rolled up and baked.



I brushed them with some melted butter and a seed/spice mix before baking for an extra little touch that worked really well.  It added a  bit of interest and tasted nice.

 

The baked rolls are served warm with more Thousand Island Dressing for dipping.



Oh boy but these were some good.  We both really enjoyed them and I know they are something that I would not hesitate to make again.

 

They were simple and quick to make as well.  Just my kind of food.

A delicious roll up sandwich I adapted from a recipe I found on Spend with Pennies. 

1 package of refrigerated croissant rolls

6 - 8 TBS of Thousand Island Salad dressing

1/4 pound of thinly sliced corned beef (over here in the UK use salt beef or pastrami)

1/4 pound grated Swiss cheese  (over here in the UK use grated Emmenthaler)

12 - 16 TBS sauerkraut, drained, rinsed and squeezed dry

2 TBS melted butter

1/2 tsp each caraway seeds and poppy seeds

1/4 tsp onion granules

1/4 tsp garlic granules

1/4 tsp paprika 

Optional:

extra Thousand Island Dressing for dipping

Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F/ gas mark 6 in the UK, 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4 in America.  Line a baking tray with baking parchment paper. 

Unroll the croissant dough and cut it apart into triangles.  Onto each triangle spread 1 TBS of Thousand Island dressing.  Top this with a portion of the meat.  Top the meat with 2 TBS of the sauerkraut, spreading it out evenly. Top with about 2 TBS of the cheese, again spreading it out evenly.  Roll up the rolls, starting at long side.  Place onto the baking sheet, leaving plenty of space in between. 

Mix together the seeds, onion and garlic granules.  Brush the top of each roll with some melted butter.  Sprinkle with paprika and then with the seed mixture.

 

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. 

Serve warm with extra Thousand Island Dressing for dipping if desired.
