Pizza egg rolls



These are Delicous and can be made with many variations in ingredients. These particular ones, were made aimed at a "works/combo" pizza flavor Profile. But you can do just meat ( chicken, sausage, ground beef, etc.), sauce and cheese. Or you can use pineapple, Canadian bacon, cheese and sauce. So many possibilities. I would advise cooking them really quickly because given that there's so much sauce , the Egg roll wrappers get very soggy and can come apart and tear.


3 bell peppers ( I have 4 in the pic, but only used 3) $2.00
2 containers of pizza sauce from
Your store of choice $4.00
1 package of pepperoni or appx. 1-2c. Worth.
I found this cheese called mozzarella whips. Thought they'd be fun to put in the center of the rolls. (You could use a cup of shredded mozz instead. )1/2 package $3.40
1/2 c. Sliced black olives $1.25
1/2 tsp garlic salt*
1 package if egg roll
Wrappers $2.00
A small pot of frying oil. ( appx. 3 cups)*
1 egg to use as glue to hold the egg roll together.*
A sheet if parchment or wax paper to assemble and ly the egg rolls on. *

Dice up the bell peppers. Cut the cheese whips into about 2 1/2 inch long. Mix sauce, pepperoni's, bell peppers, olives and garlic salt together in a large bowl. Crack the egg into a small bowl, whisk with 1 tsp water. Lay out your parchment paper and begin assembling your egg rolls. Use a BBQ sauce brush to paint the egg mixture along each edge of the egg roll wrapper Dona's you roll, it will allow it to stay rolled up. See my southwestern egg roll recipe for phot instructions on how to roll properly. Scoop in the pizza mixture, be aware of the pepperoni's in making sure they do not stick together. Them add a piece of cheese, then roll and set aside. Continue to assemble the remaining rolls. Heat your oil to temperature. I deep fried 2 at a time for about 2 mts. Then using a metal slotted spoon, I placed them on a cooking rack on top of paper towels. This will allow them to drain excess oil, cool off and still stay crispy. Now my rolls tore and split on almost everyone. But while frying, it wasn't horrible. It made lots of bubbly sounds, to some it would be very scary. However, you'll be ok as long as you are only doing 2 at a time. If your rolls are sounding like crazy, then lower your heat a bit. After you are finished, split one in half with a knife and enjoy your hardwork :).

So 3 steps:
Make pizza mixture
Roll egg rolls
Deep fry
