These Avocado Egg Rolls remind me of appetizers served at a local burger and pizza place. Theirs are good, but I think these are better!
When I first thought of making these on my own, I was intimidated. To my mind, egg rolls were scary things! So much potential for messing them up. In truth, they’re not that hard to do and hey, if I did mess up, y’all know it’s an Imperfect Kitchen anyway. We’d figure it out together! Right?
Don’t be afraid to tuck and roll tightly! Sounds like I’m telling you how to do a fancy gymnastic movement or something. The egg rolls can take it. They’re stronger than they look! The following pictures are from a previous post on a more traditional Egg Roll. The rolling process is the same, just be sure you add the avocado!
Line a cookie sheet with several layers of paper towels and a place a cooling rack over the towels. Once the egg rolls are done frying, set them on the cooling rack to drain any excess oil prior to serving. If you’re doing a lot of egg rolls, after they’ve drained a little, move them to another cookie sheet and keep them warm in a 200 degree F oven until you’re ready to serve.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the Big Game now! Serve these Avocado Egg Rolls with some Soy Sauce or Sweet and Sour Sauce to dip. You’re going to love the creamy texture of the avocados. They get buttery and smooth as they cook. They’ll just melt in your mouth when you bite into them!
