Equipment
- Deep fryer or heavy deep skillet
- Medium bowl
- Nonstick Pan
- Tongs
Ingredients
For the Egg Rolls
- 2 quarts neutral oil vegetable or canola, for frying
- 5 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- 5 pieces egg roll wrappers
- diced sautéed red and green bell peppers optional
- buffalo ranch or preferred dipping sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). If no thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of wrapper—should bubble vigorously but not burn.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Step 3: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and gently scramble the egg mixture until just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 4: If using, sauté diced red and green bell peppers in a bit of oil until tender but still slightly crisp.
- Step 5: Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon scrambled eggs in center, top with crumbled bacon, shredded Cheddar, and optional peppers.
- Step 6: Moisten all edges of the wrapper with water. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold left and right corners inward, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Step 7: Carefully fry egg rolls in hot oil in batches for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
- Step 8: Serve warm with buffalo ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
To bake instead of frying, brush assembled egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes for best crispiness.
