- Combine the sauerkraut and relish in a small bowl; set aside.
- Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the seams together with your fingers.
- Cut the dough in half lengthwise, then slice each half crosswise into 12 strips.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of the sauerkraut-relish mixture on each strip of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on one short end.
- Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Place 1 frank on each strip of dough and roll the dough around the frank, pressing lightly to seal.
- Transfer to the baking sheet seam-side down; brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds.
- Bake until the dough is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Serve with Thousand Island dressing and/or mustard.
