Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked corned beef, shredded
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and chopped
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Dijon mustard, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded corned beef, chopped sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing. Mix well until evenly coated.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Use a little water on the edges to help seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with Dijon mustard or additional dressing for dipping.
Notes
- To keep the egg rolls crispy, avoid overfilling them with dressing.
- If you prefer a healthier alternative, air-fry the egg rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
