Breakfast Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer Recipe

Introduction

Start your day with a delicious twist on a classic breakfast by making these Breakfast Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer. Filled with fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar, they’re crispy on the outside and packed with savory flavors inside.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 10 egg roll wrappers
• Sausage gravy (for dipping, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and salt together until fully combined.
2. Step 2: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the eggs are mostly set but still moist. Remove from heat.
4. Step 4: Stir the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked eggs.
5. Step 5: Place about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. To seal, dip your finger in water and brush it on the final corner of wrapper before finishing the roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
6. Step 6: Lightly spray each egg roll on all sides with cooking oil.
7. Step 7: Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Cook in batches if needed.
8. Step 8: Air fry at 390°F for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
9. Step 9: Serve hot, optionally with sausage gravy for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, lightly brush the egg rolls with oil instead of spraying before air frying.
• Try adding diced vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the egg mixture for added flavor and nutrition.
• Use turkey bacon or sausage as a substitute if preferred.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the egg rolls at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway.

Storage

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes or until crispy again. Avoid microwaving to keep the wrappers crisp.

FAQs

Can I prepare the egg rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the egg rolls and keep them wrapped in the refrigerator for a few hours before cooking. Just be sure to air fry them fresh for the best texture.

What can I use if I don’t have egg roll wrappers?

Won ton wrappers or spring roll wrappers can work as alternatives, though the size may vary. You may need to adjust the filling quantity or cooking time accordingly.

Instructions

1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and salt. Beat the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
2. Cook Eggs: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the eggs are mostly set but still moist, stirring occasionally to prevent overcooking. Remove from heat once ready.
3. Mix Fillings: Stir the crumbled cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked eggs until evenly distributed.
4. Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay out one egg roll wrapper. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the center. Fold in each side of the wrapper and roll tightly towards the end. Dip your finger in water and brush it on the top corner before sealing the final roll to ensure it stays closed. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray each side of the assembled egg rolls with oil spray to promote crispiness.
6. Air Fry: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for air circulation. You may need to cook them in 2-3 batches depending on your air fryer size. Cook at 390°F (199°C) for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through to evenly brown all sides.
7. Serve: Remove the egg rolls once golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with optional sausage gravy for dipping to add extra flavor and moisture.

Notes

• For best results, ensure the egg rolls are sealed properly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
• You can substitute bacon with sausage or ham, or use a vegetarian bacon alternative.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for about 12-15 minutes, turning halfway.
• For extra crispiness, lightly brush the egg rolls with oil instead of spraying.
• Sausage gravy adds a rich, savory dip but can be omitted for a lighter option.
