These Crispy Golden Cheese-Filled Egg Rolls are the perfect combination of crunchy, gooey, and savory. The mozzarella cheese melts perfectly inside the crispy wrapper, creating an irresistible bite. Whether served as an appetizer or a snack, they’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 12 mozzarella cheese sticks (or cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Egg Rolls: Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place a mozzarella cheese stick near the edge of the wrapper.
- Seal the Egg Rolls: Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal the roll. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it up tightly over the cheese stick, ensuring it’s fully enclosed.
- Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough for frying, around 350°F (175°C). To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of wrapper into the oil – if it sizzles, it’s time to fry!
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully lower the prepared egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip them occasionally for even frying.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve: Serve these crispy, cheese-filled egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or sweet chili sauce.
These golden, crispy cheese-filled egg rolls are guaranteed to be a hit at your next party or family gathering. Enjoy every cheesy bite!
