Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these breakfast egg rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the egg rolls ahead of time, but don't fry them. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Fry them just before serving for the best crispy texture. Think of it like prepping your Sunday roast the night before - saves time in the morning!
My breakfast egg rolls are bursting open when I fry them. What am I doing wrong?
Sounds like a bit of a kitchen disaster, but easily fixed! The most common culprit is overfilling the wrappers. Be sure to use only about 1/3 cup of filling per egg roll and ensure they're sealed tightly with water. Also, maintain a consistent oil temperature of around 350°F (175°C).
Too hot and they'll burn before the inside is cooked; too cool, and they'll absorb too much oil and burst.
What can I substitute for baked beans in these breakfast egg rolls? Not everyone is a fan!
Right, baked beans can be a bit divisive, can't they? If you're not a fan, try using chopped tomatoes mixed with a teaspoon of tomato puree for a similar flavour profile. You could also add some sautéed mushrooms for an earthier taste. It's all about making it your own, innit?
How do I make vegetarian breakfast egg rolls?
No worries, going veggie is a doddle with these! Simply swap out the sausage and bacon for vegetarian alternatives. There are plenty of great vegetarian sausages and mushroom "bacon" options available these days. You could even add some roasted peppers or spinach to the filling for extra flavour and nutrients.
Simple as!
How do I store leftover cooked breakfast egg rolls and how long will they last?
Leftover cooked egg rolls are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll be good for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or an air fryer for the best results microwaving can make them a bit soggy.
Just like yesterday's fish and chips, they're never quite as good as fresh, but still perfectly edible!
Are breakfast egg rolls healthy? What are the nutritional considerations?
While delicious, breakfast egg rolls are quite rich due to the sausage, bacon, and deep frying. They're a treat, not an everyday brekkie. To make them healthier, consider using leaner sausage, turkey bacon, or even a vegetarian alternative.
You could also bake or air fry them instead of deep frying to reduce the fat content. Always remember to balance this treat with some greens, some fruit or a balanced diet to keep that waistline in check!
