Can I skip frying and cook these in the oven?

Sure! Just coat them with a little oil and bake at 400°F for around 15-20 minutes. Flip once for even cooking. They won't be as crunchy, but still tasty!

Can these be prepped in advance?

Yep! Assemble and stash them in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. For freezing, make them ahead and fry straight from frozen. Just allow extra time.

What can I use if I can't find egg roll wrappers?

Wonton or spring roll wrappers can do the job, but they're smaller. You may need to tweak the filling quantity and cook time a bit.

How do I keep them from breaking open in the oil?

Cool the filling completely, don't overstuff, and seal them well with egg wash. Avoid crowding the fryer or pan while cooking.

Can I swap the cheddar for another cheese?

Absolutely! Try melted American, pepper jack, or even a mixed cheese blend. Just pick one that melts nicely.

Ingredients

→ Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

01 17 wrappers for egg rolls

02 1 pound beef, ground (80/20 blend)

03 2 tsp of salt

04 1/2 tsp black pepper

05 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced small

06 1/2 cup chopped pickles

07 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

08 Cooking oil (canola or vegetable)

→ Egg Wash

09 1 large egg

10 1 tbsp of water

→ Big Mac Sauce

11 1/2 cup of mayo

12 3 tbsp pickle relish (sweet)

13 1 tbsp finely chopped yellow onion

14 1 tbsp white vinegar

15 2 tbsp ketchup

16 2 tsp yellow mustard

17 1/2 tsp of paprika

18 1/4 tsp onion powder

19 1/4 tsp salt

Steps

Step 01

Cook ground beef in a large pan on medium until it's browned through. Drain any grease, then toss in chopped onions, letting them cook for two minutes. Take off heat, stir in shredded cheese, pickles, salt, and pepper to let the cheese melt a bit. Cool it all fully before moving on.

Step 02

Mix water and egg together for the wash. For the sauce, combine mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, onion, vinegar, onion powder, paprika, and salt, then stir until it's smooth.

Step 03

Moisten the wrapper edges with the egg mixture. Scoop 3 to 4 tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom nearest to you. Fold over that corner, press snugly, then fold the sides inward.

Step 04

Brush the far corner with the egg mix and roll everything up firmly to seal. Do this with the rest of the wrappers.

Step 05

Heat up oil in a big pan to 350°F. Fry 5 or 6 rolls at a time, about 3 to 4 minutes for each side, until they turn golden and crisp up nicely.

Step 06

Take the rolls out of the oil, set them on paper towels to soak up oil, then put them on a wire rack so the bottoms stay crisp. Dip in Big Mac sauce and eat warm.
