Ingredients for Reuben Egg Rolls

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these crispy Reuben Egg Rolls.

Main Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked corned beef, finely chopped
• 1 cup sauerkraut, well drained and squeezed dry
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

• Large skillet or deep fryer
• Tongs
• Paper towels
• Mixing bowl
• Small bowl of water (for sealing wrappers)

Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

I promised versatile—and here’s proof!

• No corned beef? Use pastrami.
• Make it lighter: Use reduced-fat Swiss and bake instead of fry.
• Extra flavor: Add a tablespoon of caraway seeds for that rye bread taste.
• Spicy twist: Add a little horseradish to the filling.
• Air fryer option: Skip deep frying and cook in the air fryer.

How to Make Reuben Egg Rolls Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Dijon mustard if using. Mix until evenly combined.

Be sure the sauerkraut is squeezed very dry—this keeps your egg rolls crispy.

Step 2: Fill the Wrappers

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center.

Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the top corner with a little water.

Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Step 4: Serve Warm

Serve immediately with Thousand Island dressing for dipping.

What to Serve with Reuben Egg Rolls

These Reuben Egg Rolls are perfect on their own, but they also pair beautifully with:

• Coleslaw
• Dill pickle spears
• Potato salad
• Sweet potato fries
• A simple green salad

They’re fantastic as an appetizer or even as a fun dinner!

Storage Instructions

Store leftover Reuben Egg Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 5–8 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it softens the wrapper.

You can freeze assembled, uncooked egg rolls for up to 2 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes.
