How to Make Crispy Maple Bacon Sausage Breakfast Egg Rolls
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. I love using a cast iron skillet for even cooking. Once crispy, remove the bacon and drain it on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary to keep the filling from being too greasy.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and then scramble them in the skillet until fully cooked. Add the maple syrup, cooked bacon, and shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides in and roll tightly to seal. Make sure to seal the edges well so the filling doesn’t escape while frying.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. It might be tempting, but don’t overcrowd the pan!
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. These little beauties are best enjoyed fresh!
Substitutions & Additions
If you want to change things up, here are some ideas:
- Swap the breakfast sausage for turkey sausage or even a vegetarian option for a lighter version.
- Add some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra color and nutrition.
- Try different cheeses, like pepper jack for a spicy kick!
- Drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top before serving for a touch more sweetness.
Tips for Success
Here are some helpful tips to make your egg rolls perfect:
- Don’t skip draining the bacon and sausage well; this helps keep the egg rolls from getting soggy.
- Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the egg rolls; this ensures a crispy exterior.
- If you have leftover filling, it makes a great topping for a breakfast burrito or on top of avocado toast!
How to Store Crispy Maple Bacon Sausage Breakfast Egg Rolls
These egg rolls are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or air fryer to regain that crispy texture. If you want to make a big batch, feel free to freeze them before frying. Just thaw and fry when you are ready for a delicious breakfast treat!
FAQs
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake them on a lined baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through until golden brown.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and wrap them ahead of time. Just store them in the fridge until you are ready to fry.
What dipping sauces go well with these egg rolls?
A sweet chili sauce or a maple syrup dip works wonderfully!
