Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Sausage gravy (for dipping – optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with milk and salt until well combined.
- Step 2: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Step 3: Pour in the egg mixture and cook until mostly set but still moist, then remove from heat.
- Step 4: Stir the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar into the eggs.
- Step 5: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto an egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Before finishing the last roll, wet the top corner with water to seal the egg roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Step 6: Lightly spray each egg roll with oil on all sides.
- Step 7: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space for air circulation. Cook in batches if needed.
- Step 8: Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Step 9: Serve warm, optionally with sausage gravy for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Use turkey bacon or sausage crumbles as a substitute for bacon to vary the flavor.
- Try adding diced bell peppers or onions to the egg mixture for extra veggies.
- For a crispier egg roll, brush them lightly with melted butter before air frying instead of using oil spray.
Storage
Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Egg Rolls
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Oil spray, for air frying
Optional
- Sausage gravy, for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 6 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Beat thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and well blended.
- Cook Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. Remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Add Bacon and Cheese: Stir in 6 slices of fried and crumbled bacon and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked eggs evenly.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides and tightly roll up each wrapper. Before completing the final roll, dip your finger in water and moisten the top corner of the wrapper to seal the egg roll tightly. Repeat for all egg rolls.
- Prepare Egg Rolls for Air Frying: Lightly spray each egg roll on all sides with an oil spray to help them achieve a crispy finish.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space around each one for air circulation. Depending on your air fryer size, cook in 2 to 3 batches as needed.
- Air Fry: Cook the egg rolls at 390°F (199°C) for 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even golden-brown crisping on all sides.
- Serve: Serve the hot breakfast egg rolls immediately, optionally with sausage gravy on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure not to overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent breaking during air frying.
- Spraying the egg rolls lightly with oil helps achieve a crispy texture in the air fryer.
- Flipping halfway through cooking ensures even browning and crispness on all sides.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and substitute with sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers.
- Egg roll wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores or at Asian markets.
