Ingredients

• 1 package puff pastry sheets
• 8 ounces corned beef
• 1 cup sauerkraut
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Allow the puff pastry sheets to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or until pliable.

Step 3

While the puff pastry is thawing, roughly chop the corned beef and set it aside. Drain the sauerkraut well to remove excess liquid.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheet. Roll it out slightly to form a rectangle, about 12x10 inches.

Step 5

Spread the Thousand Island dressing evenly across the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Layer the chopped corned beef evenly over the dressing, followed by the sauerkraut, and then the Swiss cheese slices.

Step 7

Starting with one of the longer sides, carefully roll up the puff pastry into a log, tucking in the filling as you go. Pinch the edges to seal the seam and ends.

Step 8

Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the entire surface of the strudel.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the top with caraway seeds for an authentic Reuben flavor.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

Allow the strudel to cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy!
