1

Dice one-half of a yellow onion, one-half of a green bell pepper, and three stalks of green onion.

2

Add 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream to a measuring cup and mix in 2 tablespoons of corn starch.

3

In a skillet, add one stick of butter and melt it.

4

Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until tender.

7

Next, add in the heavy whipping cream and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.

Add 2 cups of pepper jack cheese to the mixture and mix well until combined.

Once the crawfish filling is done, it's time to wrap the egg rolls. Brush the edges of the egg roll wrapper with egg wash.

10

Add a tablespoon of the crawfish filling to the center of the wrapper.

11

Fold the egg roll wrapper like an envelope and secure the ends with egg wash.

12

Freeze the filled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 5 minutes to prevent leaking during frying.
