Ingredients
Scale
- 15 egg roll wraps
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsps finely chopped green onions
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- 1–2 tbsps vegetable or canola oil
- 2–3 tbsps sweet and sour sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preparation: Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for smooth, even spreading.
- Preheating: Warm oven to 375°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking and easy removal.
- Filling Creation: Thoroughly blend softened cream cheese with green onions and garlic salt in mixing bowl until ingredients are uniformly distributed.
- Wrapper Technique: Position egg roll wrapper horizontally with corner pointing toward you, creating an ideal rolling surface.
- Filling and Rolling: Spread cream cheese mixture along bottom third of wrapper, leaving slight margins. Fold lower corner tightly over filling, tucking edges inward and rolling upward with moistened fingertips to create a compact, sealed bundle.
- Oil Coating: Brush entire roll surface with vegetable oil, ensuring complete and even coverage for golden crispness.
- Baking Process: Arrange rolls on prepared baking sheet with slight separation, then bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Rotate midway through cooking to achieve uniform browning and crispy texture.
- Serving Preparation: Remove from oven and allow brief cooling period, enabling filling to set and exterior to maintain crunchiness before serving.
Notes
- Chill Before Rolling: Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for smooth, easy spreading, preventing wrapper tears and ensuring uniform filling distribution.
- Seal Edges Carefully: Use dampened fingertips to create tight, secure seals, preventing filling leakage and maintaining crisp, compact roll structure.
- Oil Coating Technique: Gently brush entire roll surface with vegetable oil for consistent golden-brown color and extra crispiness during baking.
- Rotation is Key: Halfway through baking, rotate the baking sheet to guarantee even browning and prevent uneven cooking spots.
