Description
Enjoy the classic flavors of a Reuben sandwich without the carbs with these Low Carb Reuben Egg Roll Ups! These crispy bundles are perfect for a snack or a party treat.
Ingredients
- Thinly sliced zucchini or cabbage leaves (for low-carb option)
- Sliced corned beef
- Well-drained sauerkraut
- Shredded Swiss cheese
- Low-carb Russian or Thousand Island dressing (or homemade with mayo, ketchup, and vinegar)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss cheese. If you’re using a dressing, mix in a couple of tablespoons to add moisture and flavor. Set aside.
- If using zucchini, slice it thinly lengthwise. If you opt for cabbage leaves, blanch them in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes to soften. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Lay out your zucchini or cabbage leaf. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture at one end. Fold in the sides, then roll it tightly from the filled end up to create a tight seal. If needed, use a toothpick to secure the roll.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, place the egg rolls seam-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve with a side of low-carb Russian or Thousand Island dressing for dipping.
