A recipe for baked egg rolls filled with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut, served with a homemade Thousand Island dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked corned beef, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sauerkraut, well drained and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Cooking spray
  • For the Dip: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dip: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder until smooth. Cover and chill while preparing the egg rolls.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard, and caraway seeds, if using. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner.
  4. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold the left and right corners inward toward the center.
  5. Brush the top edge of the wrapper lightly with the beaten egg. Roll the wrapper tightly upward toward the top corner. Press gently to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  7. Place the assembled egg rolls seam-side down on the prepared sheet. Spray the tops generously with cooking spray for crispness.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve the hot egg rolls immediately with the chilled Thousand Island dip.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can air fry the egg rolls at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Make sure the sauerkraut is very dry; excess moisture will prevent the filling from holding together and make the wrappers soggy.
  • If you do not have caraway seeds, you can substitute a pinch of ground black pepper for a similar savory note.
