Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups Nacho Cheese Doritos (or any flavor), crushed into fine crumbs
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup mini pepperoni (or chopped pepperoni)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 12 egg roll wrappers (or wonton wrappers for smaller rolls)
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- 1 tbsp milk
- OR cooking spray (for baking)
Instructions
- Prep Station: Position egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface, forming a diamond shape with point facing you.
- Flavor Foundation: Apply pizza sauce centrally, then layer mozzarella cheese evenly, creating a rich base for toppings.
- Seasoning Symphony: Arrange pepperoni slices strategically, sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to elevate flavor profile.
- Wrapping Technique: Fold bottom corner over filling, tuck side edges inward, creating a tight envelope, then roll upward with firm pressure.
- Sealing Process: Moisten wrapper’s edge with water, press gently to secure closure, ensuring no ingredients escape during cooking.
- Final Assembly: Repeat wrapping method for remaining wagers, creating uniform pizza rolls ready for crispy transformation.
- Cooking Method: Deep fry or bake rolls until golden brown and crisp, transforming humble ingredients into a crunchy, savory delight.
Notes
- Prevent Wrapper Sogginess: Pat down sauce and cheese with paper towels to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy and weak egg roll wrappers during cooking.
- Optimize Seasoning Balance: Use a light hand with red pepper flakes and garlic powder to enhance flavor without overwhelming the pizza roll’s core taste profile.
- Ensure Tight Sealing: Press wrapper edges firmly and use water as “glue” to prevent ingredients from leaking during frying or baking, maintaining structural integrity.
- Crunch Enhancement Technique: Crush Doritos into fine crumbs and coat the exterior of rolls before cooking to add extra crispy texture and intense cheesy flavor.
