In an effort to have more exciting #QuarantineFoods, we made these.
Recipe
To make three (3) eggrolls, we used:
- 2 servings (4 slices) of Steam Umm cheesesteak meat (Swap with Steak Umm Chicken Breast steaks for a healthier version)
- 3 eggroll wrappers
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/8 cup of egg or egg substitute
- 1/4 cup part skim mozzarella (shredded)
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup yellow onion cut thin
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
- Optional: I had these before with a sweet pepper jam dipping sauce = amazing
To get this party started:
- Pre-heat your air fryer. While this is happening, cut the bell pepper and onion.
- In a frying pan on medium heat, fry the onion until golden brown. Add a little salt and pepper.
- Then fry the bell pepper until tender.
- Mix the onion and pepper in a bell and set aside for a bit.
- In the frying pan, cook the steaks until they are cooked and chopped up well. Put into a bowl.
- Lay one eggroll wrapper on a plate like a diamond, not like a square. In the middle of the wrapper, place a spoon of steak, a spoon of cheese, and a spoon of onions/pepper mix.
- Wrap the eggroll using water to help keep the eggroll sides closed. The water acts like a paste to keep the eggroll “glued” together as you fold. If you search for “how to wrap an eggroll” on YouTube, the videos are pretty helpful.
- Make two more eggrolls.
- Lightly eggwash (spread egg or egg substitute on the outside of) your eggrolls. This helps them get a nice grown brown, bubbly look when they cook.
- Set your air fryer to 375 and let it cook for about 8-9 minutes. We like to check halfway through and flip.
By some stroke of luck, our children even loved these. Just remember to cut them in half and let them cool for the little ones because these will be hot, flaming lava pockets when they come out of the air fryer.

- I also did PB-banana-with-marshmallows eggrolls. Add raisins for more fun. Remember to cut them in half and let them cool for the little ones because these will be hot, flaming lava pockets when they come out of the air fryer.
- If you are doing WW blue, this recipe for 3 eggrolls is 12 points as is. If you swap with the Steam Umms chicken, it becomes 5 points.
- Also, just for fun, we made cheese fry eggrolls using Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, french fries, and part skim mozzarella cheese. These were amazing! Wish I took a picture, but I ate mine way too fast.
