Open in Pepper →An egg roll wrapper turns almost any filling into dinner. Leftover taco meat, a block of cream cheese, thin-sliced steak with melty provolone — roll it up, fry it crisp, and you have something the whole table fights over.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on nights when a plain skillet supper won't cut it, when the kids have friends over, or when the game is on and everybody wants something to dip.
Every recipe here is a real filling in a wrapper, or a shortcut version of one: Bang Bang Shrimp Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls, Crispy Cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Sloppy Joe Egg Rolls, Taco Egg Rolls, Big Mac Egg Rolls in the air fryer, Breakfast Egg Rolls, Southwest Egg Roll Dip, and two skillet egg roll bowls when you don't feel like rolling at all.
Seal with water
Dip a finger in water and run it along the top corner of the wrapper before the last fold. A dry seam pops open in hot oil and dumps the filling.
Cool the filling first
Let cooked meat or cheese mixtures sit 15 to 20 minutes before rolling. Hot filling steams the wrapper soft and makes it tear.
Keep oil at 350
Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350°F, 3 to 4 minutes per batch, turning once. Cooler oil soaks in, hotter oil browns before the middle warms.
Give them room
Fry or air fry 4 to 5 at a time with space between them. Crowding drops the temperature and they steam together instead of crisping.
