Pickle Egg Rolls with Cheese & Seasoned Crust

Pickle Egg Rolls with Cheese & Seasoned Crust are a bold, crunchy appetizer that combines tangy dill pickles and melty cheese wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers, finished with a flavorful seasoned crust. A playful twist on a party classic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 dill pickle spears, patted dry
  • 6 slices cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 6 egg roll wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Vegetable oil for frying or cooking spray for air frying

Instructions

  1. Lay out an egg roll wrapper diagonally. Place one cheese slice and a pickle spear in the center.
  2. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
  3. Make a paste with flour and water and use it to seal the edges.
  4. Optional: brush egg rolls with oil and roll in seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika for extra crunch.
  5. To fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry egg rolls for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. To air fry: Preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Spray egg rolls with oil and air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. Let cool briefly before serving with dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

  • Pat pickles dry to avoid soggy egg rolls.
  • Try pepper jack or Swiss cheese for variety.
  • Wraps can be assembled ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 4 hours before cooking.
  • Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or oven to restore crispiness.
