Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 12 Egg roll wrappers
• 1 Egg (for sealing)
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked sausage, marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh basil leaves. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Prepare an egg roll wrapper by laying it on a clean surface with one corner pointing at you, forming a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Beat the egg in a small bowl, and use a brush or your finger to lightly coat the edges of the egg roll wrapper with the egg wash.

Step 5

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with more egg wash to prevent it from opening during frying. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy, deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the oil at a time, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Allow the egg rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
