How to Make Delicious Bacon Egg Rolls at Home
These bacon egg rolls, with their crispy exterior and soft, creamy filling, are incredibly easy to make. They’re perfect as a simple snack for kids or when you’re craving something satisfying. Here’s a recipe for an appealing snack that can even serve as a light meal.
Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 slices of white bread
- 2 strips of fresh bacon
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place the 3 eggs, which have been sitting at room temperature for about an hour, into a pot and boil them for 14-15 minutes until fully hard-boiled. Ensuring the eggs are thoroughly cooked is key.
Step 2
To make peeling easier, briefly immerse the boiled eggs in cold water for about 5 minutes. This step helps to remove the shells smoothly.
Step 3
Once peeled, place the hard-boiled eggs in a bowl and mash them gently using a fork or a mashing tool until they form a soft consistency. Aim for a fine mash with minimal lumps.
Step 4
Add 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper to the mashed eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 5
Trim the crusts off the bread slices. Then, use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread as much as possible, making it thin and pliable. This prevents the rolls from bursting when you form them.
Step 6
Spread the prepared egg salad evenly over the flattened bread slices, leaving a small border at the edges. Avoid overfilling to make rolling easier.
Step 7
Starting from one end, tightly roll up the bread with the egg salad filling inside, ensuring the filling stays contained. Roll it up firmly, similar to making a sushi roll.
Step 8
Wrap each rolled bread piece with a strip of bacon, covering it completely. Overlap the ends of the bacon slightly to secure it, preventing it from unraveling during cooking.
Step 9
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the bacon-wrapped egg rolls in the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes. Then, flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes, for a total of 10 minutes. This will result in crispy bread and perfectly cooked bacon. Keep an eye on them during cooking to prevent burning.
