Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Cooking tips:
- Make sure to scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but still moist.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Don't overfill the egg rolls, or they will burst during frying.
- Seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent oil from seeping in.
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked.
3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface and spoon some scrambled eggs onto the center. Add some diced mozzarella, tomatoes, and a dollop of pesto.
4. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly and seal the edges with a bit of water.
5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
6. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot until it reaches 350°F. Fry the egg rolls until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with extra pesto for dipping.
