Pizza Egg Rolls

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 11 minutes
Total Time 31 minutes
Makes 16 egg rolls (8 servings)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup mini pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup thick marinara sauce plus more for dipping
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 16 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • oil spray or 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

Instructions

  • Stir the mozzarella, mini pepperoni, 1/2 cup marinara, Italian seasoning and garlic powder together in a bowl; the mixture should look thick and hold together on a spoon, not run off it.
  • Lay a wrapper in a diamond shape and spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto the lower third, keeping it a little short of the edges so sauce does not squeeze out during sealing.
  • Fold the bottom point over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll tightly, sealing the final corner with egg wash.
  • Repeat with the remaining wrappers, keeping unused ones under a damp paper towel.
  • Air fry at 375°F: arrange seam side down with space between rolls, spray with oil, and cook 7 minutes. Flip and cook 4 minutes more, until deep golden and the cheese inside has fully melted, checked by pressing one gently.
  • Or bake at 400°F on a parchment-lined sheet, brushed with butter, for 15 to 17 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and blistered.
  • Warm the dipping marinara in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it steams but does not boil.
  • Rest the egg rolls 3 minutes, then sprinkle with Parmesan and serve with the warm marinara.

Good to Know

Swap mini pepperoni for diced ham and pineapple if the table runs that way; the method stays identical.
