Description

Savory breakfast sausage, crispy grated potatoes, lightly scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, and creamy avocado wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers and deep-fried to golden perfection. This inventive dish transforms classic breakfast ingredients into portable, crunchy rolls perfect for brunch or on-the-go eating.


Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lb breakfast sausage
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 small russet potato, finely grated
6 large eggs, lightly scrambled
1820 egg roll wrappers
1¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 small avocado, finely chopped
Vegetable oil, for frying


Instructions

Melt butter in large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Season with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and garlic powder.

Push sausage to one side; add grated potato to empty side and cook 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Mix with sausage and cook another 2-3 minutes until crisp.

Push mixture aside again; scramble eggs in empty side with remaining salt and pepper for 1 minute until lightly set (not fully cooked). Combine all ingredients and cool completely.

Prepare small bowl of water for sealing. Place 2-3 tablespoons filling in center of egg roll wrapper; top with 1 tablespoon cheese and chopped avocado.

Wet wrapper edges, fold sides in, roll tightly while tucking filling, and seal with water. Repeat until all wrappers filled.

Heat oil to 360-370°F in deep fryer or heavy pot. Fry egg rolls in batches 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Serve immediately with salsa, ketchup, or preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

Cool filling completely before rolling to prevent soggy wrappers.

Roll tightly to avoid air pockets causing bursting.

Maintain oil temperature for consistent crispiness.

Finely grate potato for even cooking and crisp texture.

Lightly scramble eggs they finish cooking during frying.
