Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (8 oz) corned beef, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1 cup (4 oz) sauerkraut, well-drained and patted dry
  • 1 cup (4 oz) Swiss cheese, sliced or shredded
  • Egg roll wrappers (found in refrigerated section)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard or Russian dressing
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of caraway seeds

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, yellow mustard or Russian dressing, black pepper, and caraway seeds if using. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
  2. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
  3. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides snugly, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Brush the final edge with melted butter and press to seal.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet or deep fryer to about 1 to 1.5 inches depth. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  6. Remove egg rolls with tongs or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or wire rack. Let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce such as thousand island or Russian dressing.

Notes

If sauerkraut is too wet, squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy wrappers. Do not overfill egg rolls to avoid bursting during frying. Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for best results. For gluten-free option, use rice paper wrappers but expect less crispiness. Baking option: brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, turning halfway.
