Common Questions About Cooking

- → Can I bake instead of fry them?
- Yes, brush with oil and bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
- → Can I make the filling ahead?
- Yes, make both fillings up to 2 days ahead and store in the fridge. Bring cream cheese to room temp before using.
- → Why did my egg rolls split open?
- Make sure not to overfill them and seal the edges well with water. Also check that oil isn't too hot.
