Reuben egg rolls are a delightful twist on the traditional Reuben sandwich, combining the savory flavors of corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese into a crispy, baked treat. Originating from the beloved Reuben sandwich, these egg rolls are perfect for gatherings and make for a fun, handheld snack that's sure to please both kids and adults alike. They're a wonderful way to bring a little bit of deli-inspired goodness into your kitchen without the need for a long prep time.
Reuben egg rolls pair wonderfully with a light salad, perhaps a classic coleslaw or a crisp green salad tossed in a tangy vinaigrette. For a bit of extra indulgence, serve them alongside a creamy dill or Thousand Island dipping sauce. A warm bowl of tomato soup or a hearty vegetable soup also makes for a comforting combination. These egg rolls are versatile and can complement a variety of sides based on what your family enjoys.

Baked Reuben Egg Rolls
Servings: 4
Ingredients
8 egg roll wrappers
1 cup cooked and shredded corned beef
1 cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
1 egg, beaten
Cooking spray
1 cup cooked and shredded corned beef
1 cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
1 egg, beaten
Cooking spray
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
Brush the beaten egg along the edges of the wrapper to seal the roll.
Place the egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray to help them achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.

Variations & Tips
For a kid-friendly version, you can substitute the corned beef with deli chicken or turkey. If your family isn't a fan of sauerkraut, try using coleslaw mix instead for a milder flavor. For those who prefer a spicier kick, add a bit of hot sauce or some sliced pickles to the filling before wrapping. And if you have picky eaters, consider making a few simple cheese-only rolls!
