Expert Tips

  • Cool Meat – Let the meat mixture cool slightly before adding the cheese and pickles. This will help the cheese to not melt completely and should keep the pickles crunchy.
  • Rolling the Egg Rolls – Make sure the egg rolls are tightly rolled to prevent them from opening up during frying. Use the beaten egg generously to seal the edges.
  • Filling the Egg Rolls – Make sure to not overfill the beef mixture so that mixture does not fall out during cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Difference between Spring Rolls and Egg Rolls?

The major difference between the two is the wrappers and the filling. Egg rolls have a thicker wrapper and usually have a meat filling. Spring Roll Wrappers are thinner and typically have a vegetable filling.

How to Prevent Egg Rolls From Getting Soggy?

When cooking the egg rolls make sure to cook in hot oil. This allows the egg rolls to cook crisp and quickly. This helps to prevent the egg rolls from getting soggy.

Should Egg Rolls Filling be Pre-Cooked?

Yes, it is important to cook the meat filling prior to placing on the egg roll wrapper. Placing the egg rolls in the skillet only cooks the wrapper to a crisp.

How to Store and Reheat Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. To reheat these, either bake them for 5-7 minutes until heated through and crispy or air fry them for 3-4 minutes until crispy.
