Egg Roll Recipes
You don’t only have to fill these babies with cabbage and ground sausage like at the restaurants. You really can fill with taco meat, pulled pork, or even make them into desserts with a sweet filling. We have a few favorite recipes using these fun wraps like our sloppy joe egg rolls style!
If you want to go all out you can make homemade egg roll wrappers but honestly I wouldn’t even attempt that. Store bought is my style.
Recipes for Egg Rolls Wrappers
Here are asian bean rolls from Fabulosity. If you love all the salty traditional flavors of that area you are going to love these. Easy to make vegetarian too they’re flexible in that way.
Flour, water, egg and salt is what is in the cooked version and rather simple to make. You can also find these ready made in the refrigerator section of most grocery stores.
If you absolutely cannot find any, or make them yourself you could use phyllo dough. This is usually bought frozen and once defrosted has layers of thin sheets of paper thin edible sheets.
I have used this to make our air fryer baked brie.
- Let’s hear it for Taco rolls from Num’s the Word! You can make cherry cheesecake egg rolls for dinner too.
Non Traditional Egg Roll Fillings
Ok so dessert egg rolls are fabulous with these too. I mean you can use any sort of pie filling you want to dollop inside, roll it up and fry or make air fryer apple egg rolls.
- These Southwest version from Who Needs a Cape! You can throw these together in about 20 minutes and they’re sure to be a hit.
- They also have a great recipe for Irish rolls….heard of those?
High Heels and Grills has a great EASY spring roll recipe here! Just prepare, deep fry or try our popular air fryer egg rolls and use just a spray on top.
Use your egg roll wrappers to make mozzarella sticks, thanks Frugalitygal!! Pizza egg rolls are a fabulous appetizer…..or sometimes we just call them dinner!
Egg Roll Wrapper Recipes
Another non traditional version comes from Housewife Eclectic and are buffalo wing style! Want them a bit smaller? Just use wonton wrappers with the same inners and you’re set!
You can serve them up on a baking sheet with a TON of fun sauces for dipping. Our favorites are:
- Soy sauce
- add a bit of wasabi for spice
- or Sriracha will do the trick too
