Breakfast Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer Recipe

Introduction

Start your day with these delicious Breakfast Egg Rolls, crispy on the outside and filled with a savory mix of eggs, bacon, and cheddar. Made quickly in the air fryer, they’re perfect for a hearty morning treat or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 10 egg roll wrappers
• Sausage gravy (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and salt until well combined.
2. Step 2: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until eggs are mostly set but still moist. Remove from heat.
4. Step 4: Stir the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar into the cooked eggs.
5. Step 5: Place about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of an egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly. Dip your finger in water and brush it on the top corner of the wrapper to seal the edge. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
6. Step 6: Lightly spray the egg rolls on each side with oil spray.
7. Step 7: Arrange the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
8. Step 8: Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
9. Step 9: Serve hot, optionally with sausage gravy for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For a vegetable boost, add chopped bell peppers or spinach to the egg mixture.
• Use turkey bacon or sausage for a different flavor, or omit meat for a vegetarian version.
• Brush the egg rolls with a little melted butter before air frying for extra richness.
• Make a batch ahead and freeze uncooked egg rolls; cook them straight from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to air frying time.

Storage

Store leftover cooked egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to retain crispiness. Uncooked, wrapped egg rolls can be frozen for up to 1 month; cook from frozen when ready.

• Method: Air Frying
• Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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

Wraps & Finishing

• 10 egg roll wrappers
• Oil spray, for air frying

Optional Dip

• Sausage gravy, for dipping

Instructions

1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, milk, and salt. Beat the mixture well until fully combined and slightly frothy for fluffy eggs.
2. Cook the eggs: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until eggs are mostly set but still moist. Remove the pan from the heat to avoid overcooking.
3. Combine fillings: Stir the crumbled fried bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the warm eggs until evenly incorporated.
4. Assemble the egg rolls: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Before sealing the final edge, dip your finger in water and moisten the edge to ensure the egg roll stays closed during cooking. Repeat with all wrappers.
5. Prepare for air frying: Lightly spray each egg roll on all sides with oil spray to promote crispiness and prevent sticking.
6. Air fry the egg rolls: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space around each for proper air circulation. Depending on your air fryer size, cook in 2-3 batches. Air fry at 390°F (199°C) for 7 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through cooking until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
7. Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and serve hot with warm sausage gravy for dipping, if desired.

Notes

• You can substitute cooked sausage or ham for the bacon if preferred.
• To make the egg rolls ahead, assemble and refrigerate them before air frying, then cook directly from the fridge, adding an extra minute to the cooking time if needed.
• If you don’t have oil spray, lightly brush the egg rolls with vegetable or olive oil before air frying.
• Ensure the edges of the wrappers are well sealed to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
• Sausage gravy adds a rich and savory dip, but these egg rolls are also delicious on their own or with ketchup or hot sauce.
