Avocado Egg Rolls – Just Like Cheesecake Factory’s!

If you’re craving the crispy, creamy goodness of avocado egg rolls just like those from The Cheesecake Factory, you’re in luck! This homemade version is easy to make, packed with flavor, and sure to impress your family or guests. With a crispy exterior and a creamy, savory filling, these avocado egg rolls are the perfect appetizer or snack.
What You’ll Need:
-
4 ripe avocados, mashed
-
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
-
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
-
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
12 egg roll wrappers
-
Vegetable oil for frying
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados until smooth. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Why it works: The creamy avocado blends perfectly with the tangy sun-dried tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and lime juice, creating a flavorful filling for the egg rolls.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Use a bit of water to seal the top edge of the wrapper.
Why it works: Rolling the egg rolls tightly ensures that the filling stays inside and prevents any mess when frying. The water helps seal the edges for a crisp, sealed roll.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of wrapper into the oil—if it bubbles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Why it works: Properly heated oil ensures a crispy, golden-brown exterior on the egg rolls, while keeping the filling creamy and intact.
Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls
Carefully place the prepared egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn them as needed for even frying. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Why it works: Frying the egg rolls in hot oil gives them the crispy texture that perfectly contrasts with the creamy avocado filling.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the avocado egg rolls immediately with a side of dipping sauce. A tangy ranch dressing or sweet chili sauce makes a perfect complement to the rich, creamy flavor of the rolls.
Why it works: A delicious dipping sauce enhances the flavor and adds another layer of zest, making these egg rolls even more irresistible.
A Crispy, Creamy Delight
These avocado egg rolls are just as delicious as the ones from The Cheesecake Factory but made right in your own kitchen. With the perfect balance of crispy and creamy, they’re an ideal appetizer or snack for any occasion.
