Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls – a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
Philadelphia is famous for its Cheesesteaks, so I thought it was about time that got a makeover. I’ve taken the iconic food and turned it into an even more delicious dish with the addition of an egg roll wrapper.
This recipe is amazing, and I don’t say this lightly. I’m a big cheesesteak fan, but sometimes the bread can get a bit heavy. The way to fix this? Egg Rolls. Don’t get me wrong, this recipe is a bit complex, but it’s totally worth it.
These rolls are incredible I can’t tell you how much I liked them. I think they will make a great addition to any buffet table or snack table or even just as a main dish. I am happy to have found a way to make a delicious Philly Cheesesteak and be able to serve it in a way that people who are not ready for the hoagie roll can enjoy it.

- Put 2-3 tbsp of steak and vegetable filling onto the wrapper. Fold these rolls according to the instructions by manufacturers.
- Take a deep pan and pour 3-4 inches of oil into it. Heat the oil to 350-360 °F. Fry 2-3 egg rolls at one time. But keep turning the occasionally until lightly brown all over.

Tips & Tricks:
- If you want to bake your rolls, simply coat them with the cooking spray. Then bake for 18-20 minutes until crispy at 425 °F.
- Creamy dipping sauce such as horseradish and ranch sauce are the best options to serve with.
- Make sure that the meat size is small. It will be easier to fill and bite into the egg rolls.
- If you are mushroom lovers, feel free to add small diced mushrooms to your filling.
- How to store Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls?
- After making the rolls, you can fry them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for one day. You can also freeze them for 1 month. When you want to fry, take them out from the freezer and put them on the countertop for an hour before frying.
