Breakfast Egg Rolls
To prepare breakfast egg rolls, start with classic breakfast foods like eggs, sausage, and hash browns. Next, stuff them into egg roll wrappers and fry them to perfection. Not only do they enhance any brunch spread, but they are also hearty enough to serve as a standalone meal. They’re cheesy and tender on the inside, while crispy and crunchy on the outside. I love how these offer a unique, special breakfast option that stands out from traditional egg rolls. Serve them at your next breakfast gathering, holiday brunch, or any occasion. They won’t last long!
Ingredients Needed
To make this breakfast egg roll recipe, start with simple ingredients, mainly standard breakfast items like eggs and sausage. First, grab some egg roll wrappers, then basic breakfast items, and you’re ready to go! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Breakfast Sausage: Cooked and crumbled for added protein, flavor and heartiness. Eggs: We’re scrambling 6 large eggs to fill the breakfast egg rolls. Half and Half: Whisked with the eggs to make them super creamy and rich. Salt and Pepper: To taste! Butter: For scrambling the eggs. Hash Browns: You don’t need to thaw your frozen potatoes; just cook them as-is! Try different shapes/sizes. Diced hashbrowns work great! Cheese: For melty cheesiness throughout the egg rolls, we fill them with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Wrappers: Egg roll wrappers will hold all of the ingredients together and become crispy and golden brown on the outside when fried! Vegetable Oil: Used to fry the egg rolls, giving them a crunchy and golden exterior.
How to Make Breakfast Egg Rolls
If you’ve never made egg rolls before, don’t be intimidated, it’s actually so easy! Just follow the step-by-step instructions and take a look at the visual instructions below.
Roll the Egg Rolls
Change the Protein: You can add any of your favorite items to these breakfast egg rolls, you can replace the sausage with bacon or have it in addition to the sausage. Add Veggies: Add your favorite veggies, including mushrooms, onions, or peppers. To Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Once all the egg rolls are filled, lightly spray or brush them with oil and place them in an even layer in the air fryer with space between. Set the air fryer to 375 degrees and fry them for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Tip for Cooking the Eggs: When scrambling your eggs, keep in mind they will cook more once they are in the egg rolls. You want them to be slightly undercooked. Hash Browns from Scratch: For the hash browns, I used frozen to make the process quicker, but you can make them from scratch.
In the Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To Reheat: To make sure your leftovers are nice and crispy, cook them in the air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes.
