Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup corned beef, chopped
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
Wrapper & Sealant
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
Dipping Sauce
- Thousand Island dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the egg rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss cheese to create the flavorful Reuben filling.
- Layout Wrapper: Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you, positioning it like a diamond shape for easy rolling.
- Add Filling: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the Reuben mixture onto the center of the wrapper, keeping the filling compact for neat rolling.
- Fold and Roll: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the two side corners tightly, then roll the wrapper up toward the top corner to encase the filling firmly.
- Seal Edges: Brush the top corner with beaten egg to act as glue, sealing the egg roll securely and preventing it from opening during baking.
- Repeat Process: Repeat the rolling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all egg rolls are assembled.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the rolled egg rolls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Brush with Egg: Lightly brush the tops of the egg rolls with the remaining beaten egg to help achieve a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with Thousand Island dressing for dipping, enhancing the classic Reuben flavors.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to avoid soggy egg rolls.
- Be careful not to overfill the wrappers to prevent them from tearing during rolling.
- These egg rolls can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking for convenience.
- Serve with extra Thousand Island dressing or Russian dressing for authentic taste.
- For an extra crispy finish, you can lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray before baking.
