Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

6 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter

Fillings

6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Assembly

10 egg roll wrappers
Oil spray, for cooking

Optional Serving

Sausage gravy, for dipping

Instructions

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.
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.
Mix Fillings: Stir the crumbled cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked eggs until evenly distributed.
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.
Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray each side of the assembled egg rolls with oil spray to promote crispiness.
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.
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.
