Egg Rolls with Philly Cheesesteak Flavor

Step 3: Cook the Egg Rolls

You have two options:

Option A: Deep Frying

1. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place 2–3 egg rolls in the oil at a time.
3. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Option B: Oven Baking (Healthier Option)

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Brush the egg rolls lightly with vegetable oil.
3. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Step 4: Make the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and hot sauce.
2. Mix until smooth.
3. Serve alongside the egg rolls for a creamy, tangy kick.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Arrange your Philly cheesesteak egg rolls on a platter while they’re still hot and crispy. The first bite reveals tender, savory beef, sweet sautéed peppers and onions, and gooey cheese encased in a perfectly crunchy wrapper. They’re irresistible at parties or for a cozy night in.

Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

• Use thinly sliced beef: It cooks quickly and stays tender inside the wrapper.
• Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause the egg roll to burst while cooking.
• Cool the filling slightly: Helps prevent tearing of the delicate wrappers.
• Experiment with cheese: Provolone gives a classic Philly taste, but mozzarella or cheddar works too.

These Egg Rolls with Philly Cheesesteak Flavor are a fun twist on two classic favorites—the iconic Philly cheesesteak and the crunchy, portable egg roll. Crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor, they’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser every time.
