Crispy Mozzarella Cheese Rolls

Here’s a delicious recipe for Crispy Mozzarella Cheese Rolls—perfect as a snack or appetizer with a gooey, cheesy center and a crunchy exterior!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz (225g) mozzarella cheese (block, cut into sticks)

• 10-12 spring roll wrappers or egg roll wrappers

• 1 egg (for sealing)

• 2 tbsp water

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

• Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Cheese:

   • Cut the mozzarella block into sticks (~3 inches long and ½ inch thick).

   • Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture.

2. Wrap the Cheese:

   • Lay a spring roll wrapper diagonally.

   • Place a mozzarella stick near the corner.

   • Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly.

   • Seal the edge with an egg wash (1 egg + 2 tbsp water).

3. Chill (Important!):

   • Freeze the rolls for 20-30 minutes to prevent cheese from leaking while frying.

4. Fry to Crispy Perfection:

   • Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan.

   • Fry 2-3 rolls at a time for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

   • Drain on a paper towel.

5. Serve Immediately:

   • Enjoy hot with marinara sauce or ranch!

Tips:

• For extra crispiness, double-wrap the rolls.

• Bake option: Brush with oil, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 mins (less crispy but healthier).

• Use low-moisture mozzarella for better melting control.
