Ingredients
Scale
Cheeseburger Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced pickles
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Assembly
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Cooking spray or oil for misting
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat to keep the mixture from being greasy.
- Mix the Filling: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, diced onions, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and the cheese begins to melt slightly.
- Prepare Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly and roll it up completely. Seal the edge of the wrapper by brushing it with a little water to ensure it stays closed during cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) to get it ready for crisp cooking.
- Cook the Egg Rolls: Lightly spray the rolled egg rolls with cooking spray or oil. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the egg rolls are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the egg rolls warm with extra ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty treat.
Notes
- For an extra crispy shell, lightly brush the egg rolls with oil instead of spraying.
- Feel free to customize fillings with additional ingredients such as jalapeños or cooked bacon bits.
- Make sure not to overfill the wrappers to prevent tearing during rolling and cooking.
- These egg rolls reheat well in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
