TEXAS EGG ROLLS



Texas Egg Rolls image

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs, beaten in a bowl with a fork.
1 slice 16 oz., grated american cheese
1/2 medium tomatillo, finely diced & sauteed
1 slice onion, finely diced & sauteed
1 fresh mushroom, sliced & sauteed

Steps:

  • 1. Sauteed & drain the tomatillo, onion, & mushroom before starting to mix the eggs.
  • 2. Thorougly mix 2 eggs in a small bowl with a fork.
  • 3. If you like things added to your omelette, now is the time to do it. Now is when I add the tomatillo, onion, & mushroom to the bowl & mix in.
  • 4. 4)Pour the egg mixture into a hot 10" cast iron frying pan. As it begins to bubble around the edges, flip about an inch of one edge over with a spatula. This is where I add the cheese.
  • 5. Take the 1 slice of cheese & fold it until it breaks in half. Fold each half again, until they break in half again, so, you have 4 long strips. Flip the eggs the second time & put a piece of cheese on each ends of the eggs, from the middle outward. Flip the eggs again & put another piece of cheese on the ends of the eggs, from the middle outward. Keep flipping until you reach the other side of the skillet. With the spatula, cut the egg roll crossways, in half, & fold around, side by side. Place a piece of bacon on top, a hash brown patty along to cut end, & there you have it.
  • 6. Texas Egg Rolls or if you really want it to sound fancy "Boneless Chicken with Baked Potato & Fried Pork Strips. Enjoy!!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right egg roll wrapper. Thicker wrappers will hold more filling and are less likely to tear. You can find egg roll wrappers in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
  • Make sure the filling is well-seasoned. The filling is the star of the show, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a filling that's both savory and delicious.
  • Don't overfill the egg rolls. Overstuffed egg rolls are more likely to burst open during frying. Fill them just enough so that the edges can be folded over and sealed.
  • Seal the egg rolls tightly. To prevent the filling from leaking out, make sure the egg rolls are sealed tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges or brush them with water to help them stick together.
  • Fry the egg rolls in hot oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy. Use a deep fryer or a large skillet with at least 2 inches of oil.
  • Drain the egg rolls on paper towels. This will help remove any excess oil. Serve the egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Texas egg rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With so many different fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a Texas egg roll that everyone will enjoy.
