Ingredients
Scale
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoon 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 the Swiss cheese or mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces or shred it. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the corned beef, cheese, and sauerkraut, mixing until evenly combined.
- Assemble the egg rolls. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling to 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, then tightly roll the egg roll to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Air Fry the egg rolls. Brush both sides of the egg rolls with oil. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Air fry the egg rolls for 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning or flipping halfway through if needed.
- Alternative stovetop frying method. Heat a deep pot with enough oil on medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in small batches for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Alternative oven baking method. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush the egg rolls with oil on both sides. Place them on a foil-lined sheet pan or on a baking rack over a sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through and brushing with additional oil if necessary.
- Cool and serve. Allow the egg rolls to cool for 2 to 3 minutes because 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 sold in the refrigerated section of grocery stores, near refrigerated salad dressings and tofu.
- For a gluten free option, use rice paper rolls and reduce the cooking time to 3 minutes per side or until crispy.
- Ensure to brush or spray oil evenly for crispy and golden egg rolls when air frying or baking.
- Allow the egg rolls to rest briefly before serving to prevent burns from hot filling.
