While grocery shopping a few days ago, my eyes spotted an item that I normally likely would not buy. The item in question was pizza spring rolls; the only reason I even glanced in their direction was because they were on sale, and upon further inspection, and recognizing a great price, I deemed them consumable and figured Blaine and I would try them out for dinner one evening.
I think Blaine could eat pizza every day for the remainder of his life and he wouldn’t get sick of it. Truly.
I wasn’t entirely sure how pizza spring rolls would taste, and after cooking them in the air fryer, Blaine and I agreed they were fantastic. I wanted to see if I could find a recipe to make these at home, and while the following one from tasteofhome.com is titled Pizza Egg Rolls, I figure it’s close enough.
“Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded pizza cheese blend or part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and drained
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) sliced pepperoni, chopped
- 1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 jars (14 ounces each) pizza sauce
- 32 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Additional pizza sauce for dipping, warmed, optional
“Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, peppers and onion. Stir in pizza sauce until combined. Place about 1/4 cup filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water and roll up tightly to seal.
- In a Dutch oven or deep cast-iron skillet, heat 1-2 in. of oil to 375°. Fry pizza rolls until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. If desired, serve with additional pizza sauce,” the recipe states.
