# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 7 oz andouille sausage, finely diced
02 - 7 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded

→ Vegetables

03 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
04 - 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
05 - 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
06 - 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
09 - 2 oz shredded cheddar cheese

→ Spices & Seasonings

10 - 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
11 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
12 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
13 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Wrappers & Frying

14 - 12 egg roll wrappers
15 - 2 tbsp water for sealing wrappers
16 - Vegetable oil, for deep frying

# Directions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the andouille sausage until it starts to brown. Add onion, bell peppers, celery, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook 4-5 minutes until softened.
02 - Stir in the cooked chicken, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
03 - Toss the cooled filling with shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
04 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2-3 tbsp filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Moisten the top corner with water to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
06 - Drain on paper towels, then serve hot with spicy remoulade or Creole mustard for dipping.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • The perfect fusion of Cajun spices and the comforting crunch of an egg roll
  • Make ahead friendly so you can actually enjoy your own party
  • That andouille and cheddar combo creates the most incredible smoky flavor
02 -
  • Hot filling will ruin your wrappers so always let it cool completely
  • Do not overfill the wrappers or they will burst during frying
  • Oil temperature matters too cool and they get greasy too hot and they burn
03 -
  • Freeze uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet then transfer to a bag for future cravings
  • Double the filling and freeze half for a quick appetizer next time
  • The egg rolls reheat surprisingly well in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes
