Egg Rolls with Philly Cheesesteak Flavor

Step 4: Add the Cheese

While the mixture is still warm:

1. Lay slices of provolone over the beef mixture.
2. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.
3. Stir gently so the cheese coats the meat and vegetables.

Alternatively, you can add shredded provolone and mix until melted and evenly distributed.

Let the filling cool for about 10–15 minutes before assembling the egg rolls. This prevents the wrappers from becoming soggy.

Step 5: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape (one corner pointing toward you).

1. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of filling onto the center, slightly closer to the bottom corner.
2. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling.
3. Fold in the left and right sides tightly.
4. Roll upward, keeping the roll snug.
5. Brush the top corner with beaten egg and press to seal.

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6: Fry to Crispy Perfection

Heat about 2–3 inches of oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add 2–3 egg rolls at a time — don’t overcrowd the pot.

1. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally.
2. Cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
3. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.

Let them cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be very hot.

Optional: Baking or Air Fryer Method

To Bake:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place egg rolls on a lined baking sheet.
• Brush lightly with oil.
• Bake 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.

To Air Fry:

• Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
• Spray egg rolls lightly with oil.
• Cook 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls with:

• Cheese sauce
• Spicy mayo
• Ranch dressing
• Marinara sauce
• Classic ketchup

They pair beautifully with fries, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.

Tips for Success

• Cool the filling before wrapping to prevent tearing.
• Seal tightly to keep cheese from leaking during frying.
• Keep wrappers covered with a damp towel while assembling so they don’t dry out.
• Fry at the right temperature — too hot and they burn; too cool and they absorb excess oil.
