Reuben Egg Rolls

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 13 minutes
Total Time 33 minutes
Makes 16 egg rolls (8 servings)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound corned beef chopped small
  • 1 cup sauerkraut squeezed very dry
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese torn into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds optional
  • 16 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • oil spray or 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Combine the chopped corned beef, well-squeezed sauerkraut, torn Swiss cheese and caraway seeds, if using, in a bowl, mixing until evenly distributed.
  • Lay a wrapper in a diamond shape and spoon 1/3 cup of the filling onto the lower third, pressing it into a neat log so no stray sauerkraut strands poke out past the edges.
  • Fold the bottom point over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll tightly, sealing the final corner with egg wash.
  • Repeat with the remaining wrappers, keeping unused ones under a damp paper towel.
  • Air fry at 380°F: arrange seam side down with space between rolls, spray with oil, and cook 8 minutes. Flip and cook 4 to 5 minutes more, until deep golden and the cheese inside has fully melted (check one by pressing gently; it should feel soft, not firm).
  • Or bake at 400°F on a parchment-lined sheet, brushed with butter, for 15 to 17 minutes, flipping once.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and paprika together for the dip.
  • Let the egg rolls rest 3 minutes; the melted Swiss holds its heat and will burn a careless tongue. Serve with the Thousand Island dip.

Good to Know

No corned beef on hand: pastrami chopped small works just as well and leans a little smokier.
