Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and green onions. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the centre. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal.

Pro tip: Keep wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

Brush with Oil

Place the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush each roll with vegetable oil to ensure a crispy texture.

Pro tip: A thin, even coat of oil will help achieve a golden, crispy finish.

Bake the Egg Rolls

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy. Turn them halfway through baking for even crispiness.

Pro tip: Keep an eye on the egg rolls to prevent burning.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
