How to make pizza egg rolls

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat content while maintaining flavor.

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Turkey sausage is lower in fat, while ground pork is often cheaper.

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese offers a similar texture with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Start with an onion and chop it for the filling.

Heat sesame oil in a skillet until very hot.

Add chopped cabbage and Italian mushrooms to the skillet.

Pour in a little soy sauce and sprinkle with salt; sauté until the vegetables are cooked down and dry.

Prepare the calzone sauce by seasoning whole canned San Marzano tomatoes with oregano, salt, sugar, black pepper, and olive oil; mix well.

Cook the sauce down to reduce it by half until it thickens.

Prepare an egg wash to help seal the wonton wrappers.

Begin assembling the egg rolls by placing filling in the center of a wonton wrapper.

Fold over the bottom corner of the wrapper, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.

Make a variety of fillings including vegetarian, pepperoni, and salami.

Place the rolled egg rolls in the freezer to firm them up while preparing to fry.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F.

Fry the egg rolls in batches, avoiding overcrowding, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
