Pizza Eggrolls & Variations

The kids loved the pizza eggrolls we made tonight for dinner.

We just wrapped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and mozarella in an eggroll wrapper and fried them until they were browned on both sides.

My favorite was a spur of the moment creation determined by what was in the refrigerator - cream cheese, sauteed onions, broccoli, and bacon! So delicious! I think spinach would be fabulous in this instead of the broccoli too.


The dud for this experiment was the Peanut butter and bacon filling. Too strong. However...it would be excellent as a schmear with grilled chicken!!! (1/4 c. chunky pb, 2 tsp dried minced onion, 2 slices crumbled bacon, 2 tsp. Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce) Think Thai...peanut sauce. YUM!

For dessert we did a few peanut butter, jelly, and banana eggrolls! Next time I'm trying caramel and apple, fried and then rolled in cinnamon sugar!

These can be frozen and reheated too. Wouldn't the kids love to take a pizza eggroll to school in their lunch!

Eggplant Parmesean
Pour 1 inch of oil into fry pan and begin heating on Medium.

Whip up 3 eggs in a shallow bowl.

Crush 1 sleeve ritz crackers with rolling pin, add 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup parmesean cheese, parsley flakes, onion and garlic powder (about 1/2 tsp each), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground pepper, dried oregano mix well in another shallow bowl.

Slice one large or two small Eggplants into slices about 1/4 inch thick.

Dip slices in plain flour, then in egg, then in crumb mixture. (Really I don't think it matters what order, because I tried it every order possible and they all ended up looking almost exactly the same.) Then with tongs, carefully place each slice in oil until browned, turn and brown on other side, drain on paper towel. Serve with ranch dressing or spaghetti/marinara sauce
