Cheesy Breakfast Egg Roll

This dish became a fast favorite in our house. Best of all you can change it in any way using bacon instead of sausage or add whatever your family enjoys. I keep the base of eggs and the cheese the same but change it up with anything I have on hand. Although I air fried these, you can also bake them. I also made the filling the night before so in the morning all I have to do is wrap them and pop them in the air fryer. This recipe will make 10-12  rolls.

NOTE- this is my original recipe that won a contest and was published in Taste of Home Magazine. Needless to say it’s a keeper!

INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
4 teaspoons of milk
1/2 pound ground sausage (I used “hot”  Jimmy Dean sausage)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 Tablespoon scallions, I only used the green part
Egg roll wrappers
Maple syrup for serving – optional

DIRECTIONS
Over a medium skillet cook your ground sausage until cooked through and no longer pink. Add both cheeses and scallions. Turn off the heat and set aside.
In another skillet, over medium heat add the butter to melt. In a bowl, crack your eggs, add the salt, pepper, and milk and whisk until combined. Add the egg mixture to your warm skillet and let the eggs set for just a minute. Then using a rubber spatula scrape the set eggs towards the middle of the pan letting more of the egg mixture hit the bottom of the pan to set. Do this until the eggs are cooked and no longer runny.
Once done, add to the sausage mixture and combine. This can be done the night before.
When you are ready to air fry or bake, take one egg roll wrapper at a time and add about 2 Tablespoons of the egg/sausage mixture to the middle of the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper half way up, fold both sides of the wrapper into the center of the mixture not squishing it. It will look like an envelope then roll the bottom of the wrapper all the way to the top like a burrito. Set aside seam side down. Do this for each roll.
When you are ready to fry,  preheat your air fryer to 40o degrees. Add the eggs rolls to the basket not layering them. Spritz with a little olive oil and fry for 4 minutes, turn the rolls over, spritz again with olive oil and fry for an additional 4 minutes or until the rolls are to your desired crispness.

TO BAKE – Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spritz rolls with olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes, turn the rolls over, spritz again and continue to bake for another 5-7 minutes or until your desired crispness.  Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.

Enjoy!
