appetizer breakfast kid-friendly recipe

Breakfast Egg Rolls

Breakfast Egg RollsA few weeks back (before our move) I had experimented with egg rolls. The first day I made a more traditional egg roll, consisting of pork, cabbage and carrots. While the filling was great, my folding technique was only sub-par. Unfortunately, this led to heavy egg rolls that tasted a bit greasy. The next morning I decided to try it again, but I’d used up all of my traditional egg roll filling. I still had a bunch of egg roll wrappers, so I decided to make a scramble and use that as the filling.

This is when the breakfast egg rolls were born. 

I’ve mentioned so many times before just how much I love breakfast. We often have breakfast for dinner, and if I can turn any of my favorite dishes into breakfast I’m totally game. So you can just imagine how excited I was to see how these came out. I was so pleased! One of my favorite things for breakfast is a breakfast burrito, so this is kind of an altered version of that.

Of course, you can create any filling you want for these. Even going so far as back to a more traditional egg roll. I discovered I had overstuffed my first egg rolls, and the oil was just a little too hot the first time. Also, when you tuck the sides in they really need to resemble an envelope. Once rolled the sides can’t come undone. This will cause oil to seep into the filling and make it heavy and oily. A few practice tries and I was set! All you need is some egg roll wrappers (these can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores – usually near the produce aisle) and a good high heat oil for frying (peanut, canola, grapeseed, sunflower, etc). The fillings are completely up to you, so have fun with it!

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 egg roll wrappers
  • 1/2 cup breakfast sausage
  • 5 large eggs
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 roma tomato, small dice
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • high heat oil (I used canola), for frying
  • salsa or sweet & sour sauce, to serve

Directions:

Breakfast Egg RollsBegin by cooking the sausage in a skillet over medium heat.

Breakfast Egg RollsWhile the sausage is cooking, prepare your eggs.
If you add milk or anything to your scrambled eggs, you can do so.
Add salt & pepper, to taste.

Breakfast Egg RollsOnce the sausage is cooked, add the eggs and combine.
Cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally.

Breakfast Egg RollsWhile the eggs are scrambling, prepare your veggies in a bowl so they can easily be dumped in when it’s time.

Breakfast Egg RollsJust before the eggs are cooked all the way through, add the veggies and stir into the mixture.

Breakfast Egg RollsOnce everything is done cooking, place the mixture in a bowl lined with paper towels until cool.
You don’t want the mixture wet, we want to preserve those egg roll wrappers!
While you’re waiting for the mixture to cool down, combine the water and flour in a small bowl.
It should be sticky.

Breakfast Egg RollsIt’s time to start rolling!
Lay out the egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the center of the egg roll.

Breakfast Egg RollsNow take the bottom corner and bring it up towards the center, being sure the filling is snug.
Then bring the sides in towards the center so it almost looks like an envelope.

Breakfast Egg RollsOnce the sides are brought inwards, begin to roll until the egg roll is closed.
Add a tiny dab of the flour/water mixture to the final center corner piece. This will secure it shut.

Breakfast Egg RollsOnce they’re all rolled up, heat up your oil in a large skillet or wok.
Be sure the oil isn’t too hot, as it will burn. You want a nice medium/high heat.
Once the oil is at the proper heat, add the egg rolls.
Be sure to keep enough space between them so you can turn them often.

Breakfast Egg RollsBe sure to turn them often to get a nice, even color.
Once all sides are golden and slightly bubbly, remove from heat.

Breakfast Egg RollsLet cool on a few layers of paper towels to get all the oils out.

Breakfast Egg RollsServe with sweet & sour sauce…

Breakfast Egg Rolls…or serve with salsa.
They are great either way!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
