Description

Crispy and delicious Air Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls combine classic cheeseburger flavors wrapped in golden, crunchy egg roll wrappers. This easy appetizer or snack is packed with seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, green onions, and tangy dill pickles, all cooked quickly and healthfully in the air fryer for a perfect party treat or game day munchie.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1 pound 80% lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water

Filling

  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ cup chopped dill pickles

Wrappers and Garnish

  • 10 egg roll wrappers
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the meat is browned, about 5 minutes. Once cooked, drain the excess grease from the skillet.
  2. Season the Beef: Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, and kosher salt over the beef. Stir well to combine. Set aside and allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes so it’s easy to handle for filling.
  3. Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Set aside for sealing the egg rolls.
  4. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onion, and chopped dill pickles. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Fill the Wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place approximately ¼ cup of the beef filling in the center of each wrapper.
  6. Roll the Egg Rolls: Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg wash to seal. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides, and finally roll upward to seal completely. Repeat for all egg rolls.
  7. Preheat the Air Fryer: Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  8. Prepare for Cooking: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Place as many egg rolls as fit comfortably in the basket seam-side down to prevent them from opening during cooking.
  9. Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Brush the tops of the egg rolls with egg wash and optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds and a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor and crunch.
  10. Cook and Flip: Cook the egg rolls for 5 minutes. Carefully flip them over and cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Repeat this process until all egg rolls are cooked.
  11. Serve: Serve the hot, crispy cheeseburger egg rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the beef filling is completely cooled before filling the wrappers to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy or tearing.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with other burger toppings like cooked bacon bits or diced tomatoes.
  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, or a special dipping sauce like spicy mayo or ranch dressing.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on your crowd size.
