Description
Breakfast Egg Rolls are a savory breakfast treat filled with sausage, vegetables, eggs, and cheese, all wrapped in a crispy egg roll shell.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
- ½ lb breakfast sausage
- ½ cup sweet onion, finely chopped
- ½ cup green bell pepper, seeds removed and diced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 cup shredded hash browns, thawed
- 6 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- canola or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, onion, pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Break up the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon butter and increase heat to medium-high. Add hash browns and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes or until they are starting to brown. Flip and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and stir until the eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains. Add the sausage mixture, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and cheese and stir until combined.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface. Place ¼ cup of the egg mixture about ½ inch from the bottom corner. Lift the bottom corner over the mixture. Wet the left and right corners and fold them to the center. Wet the seam and roll until fully sealed. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.
- Fill a deep skillet or Dutch oven with 1 inch of oil. Heat to 350°F. Working in batches, fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add more vegetables.
- These egg rolls can be frozen before frying for later use.
- Serve with salsa or hot sauce for added flavor.
