Instructions
MAKE FILLING:
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 it 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.
HEAT OIL:
In a large stock pot over medium heat, preheat 3 inches of oil to 350°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to get an accurate temperature.
FILL AND ROLL EGG ROLLS:
Place egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, with one of the corners facing you.
Put about 2 Tablespoons of the egg roll mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling.
Next, fold the two outer 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.
FRY EGG ROLLS:
Once all wrappers have been rolled, place four into the preheated oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, until golden.
Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls.
SERVE:
Serve with your favorite salsa (optional).
Notes
Egg rolls may be reheated in the microwave or air fryer to restore crispiness.
The rolls may be prepped the night before and stored in an airtight container or baggie in the fridge.
