Filling Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Look for a good quality beef for rich flavor.
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped This adds a sweet and aromatic undertone.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Go for sharp cheddar for an extra flavor punch.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce This enhances the umami profile of the filling.
  • Salt and pepper Essential seasonings for balancing flavors.
Wrapping Ingredients
  • 8 egg roll wrappers Choose sturdy wrappers to hold the fillings well.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For sautéing, adds a bit of richness.
  • 1 egg beaten Acts as glue for sealing the egg rolls.
  • as needed Oil for frying Use vegetable oil or another neutral oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Rolling
  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of beef and cheese mixture in the center.
  2. Brush the edges with the beaten egg to seal.
  3. Roll it up tightly, folding in the sides to form a sealed roll. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Feel free to modify fillings with diced pickles or cooked bacon. For a healthier option, bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
