Ingredients
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 250 g smoked sausage or andouille sausage, finely chopped
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or finely diced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup bell peppers (red and green), finely diced
- ¼ cup onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Water or egg wash (for sealing wrappers)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until lightly browned and fragrant. Stir in onions, bell peppers, and garlic, letting them soften and release their aroma. Add the chicken, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 2: Make It Creamy
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar. Fold in the cooled sausage mixture until everything is evenly blended. The filling should be thick, creamy, and packed with flavor.
Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling near the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with water or egg wash. Repeat until all rolls are assembled.
Step 4: Fry to Crispy Perfection
Heat vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F). Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. The shell should be audibly crunchy and beautifully blistered.
Step 5: Serve Hot
Serve immediately while they’re hot, crunchy, and oozing with cheesy goodness.
