Best Ways to Enjoy It

Pair them with a light salad or serve them as an appetizer before a festive dinner. A glass of sparkling cider or a fruity cocktail complements this dish perfectly, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers (good luck with that!), store the egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness. If you wish to freeze them, ensure they are completely cool before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to a month.
Tricks for Success
- Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying—this guarantees a crispy exterior and prevents greasiness.
- For easier rolling, keep your egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Experiment with filling variations—add herbs like rosemary or thyme to enhance the flavor profile!
Creative Twists
Want to mix it up? Try using other cheeses like goat cheese or havarti for a different flavor experience. You could also add diced apples or walnuts inside for texture and added taste. For a spicy kick, consider mixing in a bit of jalapeño jam with the cranberry sauce. The possibilities are endless!
