Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups chopped or shredded corned beef
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, cream cheese, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. Scoop out portions of the mixture (about one inch) and roll into balls.
  3. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Coat each ball in flour first, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
