Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Roll tightly to enclose the filling, brushing the top edge with beaten egg to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry Until Crispy
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Serve hot with extra Thousand Island dressing or spicy mustard for dipping.
- Pair with a cold drink and enjoy the crunchy, cheesy, tangy goodness!
Baking or Air-Fryer Option
🔥 Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C), place egg rolls on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway.
🌬️ Air Fryer: Spray egg rolls lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Variations & Tips
💡 Make it Spicy – Add a dash of hot sauce or spicy mustard to the filling.
💡 Use Pastrami Instead of Corned Beef – A tasty alternative with extra smoky flavor.
💡 Add Caraway Seeds – Gives a subtle rye bread flavor like a classic Reuben.
💡 Serve with Pickles – A side of pickles adds the perfect crunchy contrast.
