Recipe

Imagine the iconic deli Reuben sandwich… but wrapped in a golden, crackly egg-roll wrapper that shatters with every bite. Juicy corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, creamy Russian dressing, and oozy Swiss cheese come together in the ultimate party appetizer or game-day snack. One dip in extra dressing and you’re hooked.

The secret to that perfect melty pull? Super-fine, fluffy Swiss cheese that melts instantly—no clumps, no cold spots. A quick spin with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater turns a block of Swiss into snow-like shreds that disappear into pure cheesy bliss.

🧀Ingredients (Makes 12 egg rolls)

12 egg roll wrappers

½ lb deli-sliced corned beef, chopped

1⅓ cups sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry

1½ cups Swiss cheese (Emmental or Gruyère work too)

½ cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing (plus extra for dipping)

1 egg + 1 tbsp water (egg wash)

Neutral oil for frying (or air-fry/bake option)

🥟Step-by-Step: Crunchy, Cheesy Perfection

1. Prep the Swiss Cheese Magic

Lock the cheese shredder hand crank onto your counter. Use the fine shred blade and crank the Swiss block into light, fluffy shreds that will melt in seconds.

2. Build the Filling

In a bowl, gently mix chopped corned beef, squeezed sauerkraut, Swiss shreds, and ½ cup dressing until everything is evenly coated.

3. Roll Like a Pro

Place an egg roll wrapper diamond-style. Add ~2 heaping tbsp filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom up, tuck in the sides snugly, then roll tightly. Seal the top corner with egg wash. Repeat until all rolls are ready.

4. Cook to Golden Glory

Fry: Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F/175°C. Fry 3–4 rolls at once until deep golden (turn once). Drain on paper towels.

Air Fry: 390°F/200°C for 8–10 minutes, flip halfway.

Bake: 425°F/220°C on a lined sheet, brush with oil, 12–15 minutes, flip halfway.

5. Serve Immediately

Slice in half diagonally to reveal that gorgeous cheesy pull. Serve with extra Russian dressing for dunking.

🌟Tips & Twists

Spicy Kick – Add a pinch of caraway seeds or horseradish to the filling.

Make-Ahead – Assemble rolls, freeze on a tray, then store in bags. Fry from frozen (add 2–3 extra minutes).

Baked Lighter Version – Mist with oil and bake/air-fry for fewer calories.

Dipping Upgrade – Warm the extra dressing with a splash of pickle juice.

✨Conclusion: The Appetizer Everyone Fights Over
