INGREDIENTS:
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup corned beef, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Step 1 – Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is hot and ready for baking the egg rolls to crispy perfection.
- Step 2 – Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced corned beef, drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Step 3 – Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place a spoonful of the corned beef and sauerkraut mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal the egg roll. Use a small amount of beaten egg to seal the edges if needed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Step 4 – Bake the Egg Rolls: Place the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, seam side down.
- Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the egg rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Arrange the baked Reuben egg rolls on a platter and serve them hot, accompanied by additional Thousand Island dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
