Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 1/2 cup cooked sausage crumbles or bacon bits

• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)

• 4 egg roll wrappers

• Cooking spray or a small amount of oil

• Optional: 1/4 cup diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, or spinach)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Scramble the Eggs:

   • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined.

   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until they’re just set. Avoid overcooking, as they’ll cook further in the air fryer.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

   • Combine the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, and shredded cheese in a bowl.

   • If using diced vegetables, sauté them lightly before mixing them in for added flavor.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Prepare the Wrappers:

   • Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.

2. Add the Filling:

   • Place about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture near the center of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill to avoid tearing.

3. Roll the Wrapper:

   • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with a dab of water to keep it secure.

Step 3: Air Fry the Egg Rolls

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Set your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3–5 minutes.

2. Cook the Egg Rolls:

   • Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil for crispiness.

   • Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each roll.

   • Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve

• Let the egg rolls cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. Enjoy them plain or with a side of salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream for dipping.

Pro Tips for Perfect Breakfast Egg Rolls

• Sealing the Wrappers: Use a mixture of water and a little flour to create a stronger “glue” for sealing the edges.

• Batch Cooking: If making a large batch, keep the assembled egg rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent the wrappers from drying out.

• Storage and Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to regain crispiness.

• Freezing Option: Assemble the egg rolls and freeze them uncooked. Cook them straight from frozen in the air fryer, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the cooking time.
