How To Make Easy Air Fryer Breakfast Egg Rolls
Step One: In a large skillet, cook your chosen proteins, like bacon or sausage, until fully cooked. Set aside. In the same pan, sauté any vegetables like bell peppers and onions, over medium heat, until they’re soft.
Step Two: Whisk the eggs and pour them into the pan, scrambling them until set. Combine with the cooked proteins and any cheese or additional ingredients you prefer.
Step Three: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the breakfast egg mixture onto the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly, sealing the final corner with water.
Step Four: Set the air fryer temperature to 370 degrees F (190°C) and set cook time for 2-3 minutes.
Step Five: Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or brush them with melted butter or cooking oil to ensure even browning. Carefully place egg rolls into the air fryer basket, seam side down, in a single layer, ensuring they’re not touching to allow for adequate airflow. Set cook time for 7-10 minutes, turning them halfway through or until golden brown and crispy.
Step Six: Once done, remove the egg rolls from the air fryer. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce like hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, or even maple syrup. A side of fresh fruit, and maybe some air fryer bac

Easy Air Fryer Breakfast Egg Rolls Recipe Faqs
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble the egg rolls completely, wrap them tightly, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before air frying. You can also freeze them (see below).
How do I freeze these egg rolls? Assemble the egg rolls, but do not air fry them. Lay them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container.
How do I cook them from frozen? Air fry frozen egg rolls at 350 degrees F for about 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. They may need slightly longer than fresh ones to cook through and become crispy.
Why did my wrappers burst or tear? This usually happens because the filling was too moist, the wrapper wasn’t sealed tightly enough, or the air fryer temperature was too high. Ensure the filling is dry and the seal is secure.
What can I use to seal the wrappers? Plain tap water works fine! Lightly dampen the edges with your finger. For an extra secure seal, you can use a quick egg wash (one whisked egg).
