Baked Egg Rolls

The theme for Monday posts in March is Fun with Pastry.

No, I’m not making pastry nor am I giving recipes for pastry.

I buy it.

The recipes will be using purchased puff pastry or phyllo (filo) dough.

Both puff pastry and phyllo can be frozen and re-frozen (once).

I made these Egg Rolls with brick (brik, warqa) pastry which is common in most North African cuisines and popular in France. It’s very similar to phyllo, but is a bit easier to work with as it doesn’t dry out as fast.

You can use either and I have given instructions for both.

I have a lot of pastry choices here in France – but wonton wrappers are not among them.

I bake rather than deep fry.

  1. So many things enclosed in filo pastry here in Morocco but mostly are deep fried (both sweet and savoury) so I steer clear . Like you I prefer baked !

  2. This looks delicious and I never thought of stuffing and baking ‘egg’ rolls like this. I do have access to wonton wrappers, but I think I might like this better, being baked. I don’t deep fry anything. I don’t really fry anything in the true sense of the word. Getting rid of the used oil has always been problematic for me. And I don’t have an air fryer because I just don’t have any room for one more thing in my too small kitchen.

    • I can get rice paper but not wonton wrappers. I’m happy with phyllo and baked. I did a small bit of deep-frying in the US, in a wok, but hated having to get rid of the oil. I used to take it ‘out back in the woods’ and toss it but that’s not really the best option. lol
      And I’m not getting an air-fryer…. at least, not now.
