These Crispy Reuben Egg Rolls combine the classic flavors of corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese wrapped in a crunchy egg roll shell, served with a creamy Thousand Island sauce. Perfect for game days, potlucks, or a savory snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces corned beef, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained and patted dry
  • 4 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded or sliced thin
  • 8–10 fresh egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 4 cups)
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • For the Thousand Island Sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss cheese. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you. Avoid overfilling.
  5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners snugly. Roll tightly towards the top corner, brushing the final edge with egg wash to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or a wire rack. Let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Serve hot with a generous drizzle or side of creamy Thousand Island sauce.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt egg rolls. Use fresh egg roll wrappers and keep covered with a damp towel to prevent drying. Drain sauerkraut well to prevent sogginess. Seal edges tightly with egg wash to keep filling in. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature. For baking alternative, bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway.
