These crispy Reuben egg rolls combine the classic flavors of a Reuben sandwich—corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing—wrapped in a crunchy egg roll shell, perfect for game day snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 10 oz) chopped corned beef, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1 cup (about 5.3 oz) sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
  • 1 cup (about 3.5 oz) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
  • Egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil for frying
  • Butter (optional, about 1 tablespoon melted)
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Water or beaten egg for sealing wrappers

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix gently until well combined. Stir in melted butter if using.
  2. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Have a small bowl of water or beaten egg nearby to seal the edges.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners snugly. Roll tightly towards the top corner, sealing the edge with water or egg.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove with tongs or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while frying the rest.
  6. Serve warm with extra Thousand Island dressing or mustard for dipping.

Notes

Drain and pat sauerkraut dry to avoid soggy wrappers. Do not overfill egg rolls to prevent tearing. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best crispiness. Baking at 425°F for 15-18 minutes is a lighter alternative. Reheat in oven or air fryer to keep crisp; avoid microwaving.
