Ingredients

Cheese Sauce

  • 1 T butter
  • 2 T flour, all purpose
  • 1 C milk I used whole milk
  • ¾ C shredded white cheddar cheese (can be subbed with cheddar, cheddar jack etc)
  • ½ C chopped or shredded provolone cheese (can be subbed with mozzarella)
  • 1 T dehydrated onion
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt
  • black pepper

Egg Rolls

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • water
  • olive oil (mist or just enough to brush on egg rolls)
  • 12 oz frozen broccoli florets

Instructions

  • Prepare broccoli according to package instructions. Remove as much water from broccoli as possible. Roughly chop and set aside in a bowl.

Prepare Cheese Sauce

  • In a small saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Add onions, garlic powder, a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to cook for just a few minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted and incorporated into sauce. Taste for salt and pepper and add more if needed.
  • Combine cheese and broccoli in a bowl.

Assemble Egg Rolls

  • Place an egg roll wrapper down with point facing you.
  • Wet the edges of the wrapper with water. You can do this with your fingertip of a pastry brush.
  • Spoon some of the broccoli mixture on to the wrapper just below the center of wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom point up and over filling. Work it so that it's tight and no air pockets. Fold the sides up next, also try to get them pulled in tight without air pockets. Fold the final corner up and around the roll. Set aside seam side down and assemble the rest of the rolls.
  • Arrange 4-5 rolls in air fryer basket, leaving a little room between each roll. Apply a small amount of oil to rolls by using a misting spray bottle or brush it on with a pastry brush.
  • Set air fryer to 400 F and timer to 8 minutes.
  • After 8 minutes, use tongs to carefully flip over and cook an addition 3-4 minutes until browned.
  • Serve as is or with marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.
