Instructions
Instructions
On a lightly floured surface, unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet and roll gently to flatten creases and increase the length and width by about 1/2 to 1 inch.
In a small bowl, beat both eggs until combined.
Lightly brush the top surface of the puff pastry with some of the beaten egg.
Lay the 6 slices Swiss cheese on the pastry, overlapping slightly and coming within 1/2 inch of the edges.
In a separate bowl, mix the 2 ounces softened cream cheese with the 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the Swiss cheese layer.
Drain the 1/2 cup sauerkraut well by squeezing it in paper towels to remove excess liquid, then spread the sauerkraut evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Arrange the 6 slices deli-sliced corned beef evenly over the sauerkraut.
Starting at one long edge, roll the pastry up jelly-roll style into a tight log. Brush the far edge with some of the beaten egg and press to seal the roll.
Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill until firm: freeze for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Remove the chilled roll from the plastic wrap and cut it into 16–18 slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
If using, sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds evenly over the pinwheels.
Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown.
Serve warm with more Thousand Island dressing for dipping.
