Ingredients
Scale
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
- Thousand Island dressing (for serving)
Filling
- 500 grams corned beef (approximately 10 slices)
- ½ cup Swiss cheese (or mozzarella cheese, approximately 5 slices)
- ½ cup sauerkraut
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling. Dice the corned beef into bite-sized pieces. Dice or shred the Swiss cheese or mozzarella cheese. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the corned beef, cheese, and sauerkraut, mixing until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold in two opposite corners toward the center and then tightly roll the wrapper around the filling. Repeat with all wrappers.
- Air Fry Method. Brush both sides of the egg rolls with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through if needed.
- Stove Top Method. Heat oil in a deep pot over medium heat. Fry egg rolls in small batches for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Oven Baking Method. Brush egg rolls with oil on both sides. Arrange on a sheet pan lined with foil or on a baking rack. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through and brushing with more oil if needed.
- Cool and Serve. Allow the egg rolls to cool for 2 to 3 minutes as the filling will be very hot. Serve with Thousand Island dressing for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
- Nutrition information does not include the optional Thousand Island dressing dip.
- Egg roll wrappers are typically found in the refrigerated section near salad dressings and tofu.
- For a gluten free option, substitute rice paper rolls and reduce cooking time to 3 minutes per side or until crispy.
- You can use mozzarella cheese as a milder alternative to Swiss cheese.
- Make sure to tightly roll the egg rolls to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
