When you want to up your breakfast game and bring your family something delicious and yet something they didn’t see coming, then these Crunchy Scrambled Eggs Rolls is just the ticket!
We filled our scrambled egg rolls with shredded cheddar cheese, precooked bacon, and scallions. But, if you want to mix things up and add your favorite “egg-stras”, by all means, be as creative as you like. Add mushrooms, green pepper, ham, broccoli, onion, spinach…you get the idea!
The ingredient list:
- eggs
- salt and pepper
- milk
- bacon
- cheddar cheese
- scallions
- egg roll wrappers
- peanut oil
Can I use other oils for frying? Does it have to be peanut oil?
No, peanut oil does not have to be used if you or someone you love has peanut allergies. Other healthy frying oil options are as follows;
- macadamia oil
- coconut oil
- avocado oil
The key for the best frying oil is one with a very high smoke point. If done correctly, frying foods isn’t at all unhealthy. If fried foods are cooked with the right oil, at the right temperature, very little oil will leach into the food.
What is the proper oil temperature for frying foods?
- For pan frying, the oil temperature should read 250-degrees F
- For deep frying foods, the oil temperature should read 325 – 375 degrees F
What if I don’t have a cooking thermometer? Is there any other way to judge the temperature of the oil?
- A valuable tool I have used over the years for judging proper oil temperature is to stick the handle of a wooden spoon into the heated oil. If tiny bubbles immediately form and float to the surface (much like bubbles in champagne, only faster), your oil is ready to fry. If this doesn’t happen immediately, wait a few more minutes. If the oil isn’t hot enough to begin frying, the food will soak up the oil before the frying takes place making foods oily and unhealthy.
