Breakfast egg rolls are filled with scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, and veggies, then fried to crispy perfection. A satisfying, savory breakfast that’s impossible to resist!
In a large stock pot over medium heat, preheat 3" of oil to 350°. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage. While the sausage is cooking, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper and paprika. Once the sausage is cooked, remove from the skillet and drain any extra fat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cook. Once the eggs are cooked, combine sausage, eggs, cheddar cheese, bell pepper, pepper jack cheese and onion.
Place egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, with one of the corners facing you. Put about 2 Tbsp of the egg roll mixture into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Next, fold the two outward corners into the center like an envelope. Brush the remaining corner with water and roll the egg roll up to seal. Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Once all wrappers have been rolled, place 4 into the preheated oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls.
Notes
Variations:
Make them with hash browns. You can cook hash browns and tuck them into the egg rolls instead of or in addition to either the eggs or the sausage.
Make them vegan. Swap the eggs for tofu scramble, the breakfast sausage for your favorite plant-based sausage, and the cheese for dairy-free cheese.
Make baked breakfast egg rolls or air fried breakfast egg rolls. You can spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or oil and bake them for 15-20 minutes at 400ºF, or air fry them if you want to avoid deep frying. (18 minutes at 400ºF should get the job done).
Make them with bacon. Swap the breakfast sausage for cooked, crumbled bacon.
Storage:
Egg rolls may be stored in an airtight container or baggie in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat leftover breakfast egg rolls in the microwave until warmed through, in an air fryer, or in a 400ºF oven.
