Ingredients
- 1 cup finely chopped corned beef
- ½ cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 10–12 egg roll wrappers
- ¼ cup Thousand Island dressing
- Butter or cooking spray for brushing
- Pinch of caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine corned beef, drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, and caraway seeds if using. Mix gently to combine.
- Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you like a diamond. Have a small bowl of water nearby to moisten the edges for sealing.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll up firmly until almost closed, then wet the top corner with water and seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Lightly brush each egg roll with melted butter or spray with cooking spray.
- Preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Place egg rolls in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don’t touch.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Let the egg rolls cool for 2 minutes before serving with extra Thousand Island dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Drain sauerkraut well to avoid soggy egg rolls. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Flip egg rolls halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Butter or oil spray improves texture and flavor. For gluten-free, use rice paper wrappers. For dairy-free, substitute vegan cheese and plant-based dressing. Egg rolls can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking. Freeze uncooked egg rolls for up to 2 months.
