Egg Rolls with Philly Cheesesteak Flavor

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond).
2. Place 2–3 tablespoons of the Philly cheesesteak filling near the corner closest to you.
3. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly.
4. Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner. Brush a little beaten egg on the final corner to seal it.
5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place 3–4 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
3. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Make the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

1. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup or hot sauce, and Dijon mustard.
2. Adjust the flavor to taste. Serve alongside the hot egg rolls.

Step 5: Serve

• Serve the egg rolls immediately while hot, so the cheese is melty and the exterior is crunchy.
• These egg rolls pair perfectly with a tangy dipping sauce or even a side of pickles for extra zing.

Tips for the Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

• Use thinly sliced beef: It cooks quickly and stays tender. Freezing the beef for 20 minutes before slicing helps achieve paper-thin slices.
• Don’t overfill: Too much filling can make rolling tricky and cause the wrapper to burst while frying.
• Crispy shells: Ensure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F/175°C) before frying; too cool, and they will be greasy.
• Customize the cheese: You can use provolone, mozzarella, or even American cheese slices depending on your taste preference.

These Egg Rolls with Philly Cheesesteak Flavor are the perfect fusion snack for parties, game nights, or a fun twist on dinner. Crispy on the outside, savory and cheesy on the inside, they are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

If you want, I can also create a shortcut oven-baked version that’s much healthier but still melts in your mouth. Do you want me to do that?
