They’re perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal!
Ingredients
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup deli-sliced corned beef, roughly chopped
- ¾ cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
- ¾ cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup Russian dressing (plus extra for dipping)
- Cooking spray (for greasing the foil tray)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
-
Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you like a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of chopped corned beef, 1-2 tablespoons of sauerkraut, and 1 tablespoon of shredded Swiss cheese in the center of the wrapper. Drizzle a little Russian dressing on top.
-
Roll the egg rolls: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly to form an egg roll, sealing the top edge with a little water to hold it closed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
-
Prepare for baking: Place the rolled egg rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking.
-
Bake the egg rolls: Bake the egg rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. You can flip them halfway through the baking time for an even crispier texture.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the egg rolls from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve with extra Russian dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make ahead: You can assemble these egg rolls in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze them before baking and cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
- Variations: If you prefer, you can add a bit of Dijon mustard or Thousand Island dressing to the filling for added flavor.
- Baking or frying: These egg rolls are baked, which makes them a healthier option compared to deep-frying. However, if you prefer to fry them, heat oil in a deep fryer or a pan over medium heat and fry until golden and crispy.
