Method

  1. Preheat oil in a medium saucepan to 350 degrees F.

  2. Ensure that there is enough oil in the pan so that the egg rolls do not touch the bottom.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.

  4. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, and peppers.

  5. Cook the vegetables until they are slightly softened, which should take about 2 minutes.

  6. Add the roast beef to the pan and continue to sauté until the onions become translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.

  7. Add the cheese to the pan and mix thoroughly until the cheese begins to melt.

  8. Remove the pan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove excess moisture. Let it cool.

  9. Divide the cooled mixture into 8 equal parts.

  10. Place one part of the mixture in the center of each egg roll skin.

  11. Fold the side corners of the egg roll skin in and roll it up, sealing the edges with the egg wash.

  12. Submerge the egg rolls in the preheated oil and fry them, making sure they do not touch the sides or bottom of the pan.

  13. Fry the egg rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding, until they turn golden brown.

  14. Remove the fried egg rolls from the pan and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  15. Cut the egg

Not at all! With a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you can easily make these delicious egg rolls in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Yes, you can! Simply assemble the egg rolls, freeze them, and then fry them when you're ready to serve. This makes them a convenient option for meal prepping or entertaining guests.
