Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup pulled pork
- 3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup diced dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 slices deli ham, diced
Wraps
- 10 egg roll wrappers
Others
- Oil spray (for spraying egg rolls and air fryer basket)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the pulled pork, shredded Swiss cheese, diced dill pickles, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Add Ham: Dice the deli ham into small pieces and add it to the filling bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly to ensure each egg roll will have a balanced flavor.
- Fill the Egg Rolls: Spoon approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto each egg roll wrapper, placing it in the center for easy rolling.
- Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up tightly towards the top corner. Before the final roll, dip your finger in water and moisten the top corner of the wrapper to seal the egg roll securely. Repeat for all wrappers.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spritz each egg roll on all sides with oil spray to help them crisp up during cooking. Also, spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Egg Rolls: Place the egg rolls in a single, even layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving space between each for hot air circulation. If needed, cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Cook: Air fry the egg rolls at 390°F (199°C) for 7 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Notes
- If you don’t have pulled pork, you can substitute with cooked shredded chicken or turkey for variation.
- To make wrapping easier, keep the egg roll wrappers covered with a damp cloth so they don’t dry out.
- You can adjust the amount of Dijon mustard according to your taste preference for tanginess.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure the egg rolls cook evenly and get crispy.
- Serve these egg rolls with a side of mustard or a spicy dipping sauce for added flavor.
