Chourico and Egg, Egg Rolls

Ingredients:

1 package of egg rolls wrappers (about 25)

1 pound of chourico or breakfast sausage (chopped finely)

1 dozen eggs (beaten)

1 small onion (minced)

1/2 cup shredded cheese

1 egg (beaten with 1 teaspoon water)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons parsley (minced)

salt and pepper to taste

hot sauce or piri sauce for garnish (optional)

cooking spray (for baking or air frying)

vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

Heat the olive oil in large saute pan.  When the oil is hot add the onion and chourico and cook for a few minutes until slightly crispy. Add the eggs and mix. Let cook while mixing to make a scramble. Add desired salt and pepper. Add piri piri if you want it spicy.

When cooked add parsley and mix in. Set mixture aside to cool.

Baking:

Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Place 2 – 3 tablespoons of the filing in center of the wrapper and fold in the ends toward the center. Brush edges with egg wash. Fold in sides and roll like a jelly roll. Repeat.

Coat a baking pan with cooking spray and place the rolls evenly in pan. Brush tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray. Cook for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

You may need to turn the egg rolls over to get all side crispy but this is optional.

Note: You can also fry them in hot oil until golden.

Frying:

Fry in oil for about 5-8 minutes until very golden crispy. Place on paper towels to absorb any grease.

Air Frying:

Spray prepared egg rolls with cooking spray on both sides. Cook at 400 degrees for about 8-10 minutes turning them over half way into cooking process.
