Reuben Breakfast Casserole
Who says you need to wait until lunch or dinner to get those Reuben flavors that you crave? This Reuben Breakfast Casserole, made with crescent rolls, is the perfect brunch or breakfast way to give your tummy the Reuben food it wants. But just saying that this Reuben Crescent Bake recipe is just for breakfast isn’t fair either.
In fact, we enjoy this for dinner quite often. It’s just fine all on its own, or with a nice side salad.

National Reuben Month
March is the perfect time to try a Reuben Egg Casserole, it’s National Reuben Month AND you might just find yourself with a little leftover corned beef after you prepare that traditional corned beef and cabbage meal. If that happens, I have you covered with all sorts of ways to use it. Actually, why don’t you just pick up some extra, you might need it.
That very Reuben Sandwich you see pictured above was just featured in Nebraska Life Magazine in their March/April 2021 issue. I was so tickled to see one of my most favorite recipes in print!
During my 6 year partnership with Frank’s Kraut, I have shared oodles of recipes using sauerkraut of course, but so many of them have been fun twists on the Reuben Sandwich. A long time ago, I started calling it “Reubenizing” recipes, and it just stuck.
National Reuben Sandwich Day
So National Reuben Month is in March, but here in Omaha, we celebrate National Reuben Day also. National Reuben Day is March 14th of every year. There are all sorts of bars and restaurants here that celebrate this Nebraska original. But you don’t need to live here to celebrate! Make up any of these Reuben recipes and join in the fun!
Ingredients in this Reuben Brunch Bake
- Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (if you can grab the ones that are a whole sheet grab those)
- corned beef
- Frank’s Kraut
- Thousand Island dressing
- Swiss cheese
- caraway seeds
- eggs
How to make Reuben Egg Casserole
Unlike strata or those overnight breakfast casserole recipes, this Reuben casserole recipe doesn’t need time in the fridge, no waiting 8 hours — just layer and bake! The whole thing comes to the table in less than an hour.

Made this for a St. Patty’s Day brunch and it was soooo good! I used Russian dressing instead of thousand island, and put a little extra on top because I love sauces!!
That makes me so happy! Thank you for taking the time to circle back and let me know your thoughts! 🙂
