Air fryer ham and cheese egg rolls
They came out so good, and were really easy to make! You just need 3 things to make this egg roll wrapper recipe, or dippers we like to call them. You can of course buy them already made and packaged too for a faster prep time.
Dipped in honey mustard they were the perfect lunch. Great snack later in the day too. You can make these deep fried, in a Cosori or Ninja Foodi hot air machines. Let me know what you think!
You’ll need a small cup of water too to make these. Now lay one egg roll wrapper on a cutting board and place 2 pieces of lunch meat down first near the end you will begin to roll.

Place 1 piece of string cheese near that end too and begin to roll it up so it doesn’t unravel when you fry them.
Fold once over the string cheese, then fold in the sides like you see here. Roll almost all the way up except before you do put your finger in the water and wet the last edge.
That way it will stick and not come unraveled when frying. Here’s a quick recap of how to make these yummy ham and cheese egg rolls!
Deep Fried Ham and Cheese Egg rolls
Time needed: 20 minutes.
Easy Egg Rolls
- Prepare
Lay egg roll wrapper down flat. Place cheese stick in near end with 2 pcs of lunch meat on top.
Fold sides in and then roll up almost all the way. Then wet your finger and wet the very end, roll all the way over so it sticks and doesn’t come undone. - Deep Fry
Heat oil until it is hot enough to fry a small piece of wrapper dropped in. Lay a few prepared rolls in oil and flip so both sides are lightly browned.
Put on paper towels when done to absorb excess oil. - Air fry
Add in preheated machine at 375 degrees, spray tops with olive oil spray well. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turn over each one and spray with olive oil again liberally, then cook 3-4 additional minutes.
Ninja Foodi Ham and Cheese Egg rolls
Now wait until your oil is hot enough to fry a bit of egg roll wrapper but not burn it and then place them in just so they are a light brown and the cheese is melted inside.
It doesn’t take long to cook, maybe 30 seconds on each side. Place them on a paper towel to absorb any oil that is still on the outside and pair it with a small cup of honey mustard! Enjoy friends!
