Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and ¼ cup of Thousand Island dressing. Mix until evenly combined.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond position. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling just above the bottom corner.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Moisten the top corner with a little water and press to seal.
- Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with extra Thousand Island dressing for dipping.
Variations :
- Spicy Reuben Rolls: Add a touch of horseradish or hot sauce to the filling for a little kick.
- Baked Version: Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Mini Rolls: Cut wrappers in half to make bite-sized party snacks.
- Keto Swap: Use low-carb wraps and bake instead of frying to keep it lighter.
Tips :
- Squeeze sauerkraut dry to prevent a soggy filling—excess moisture is the enemy of crisp rolls.
- Seal the wrappers well to keep cheese and dressing from leaking during frying.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet when frying—maintain oil temperature for even browning.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispness, or reheat in an oven or air fryer for best texture.
