Supreme Pizza Eggrolls

 One of the stocking stuffers that I got this past Christmas was the magazine Best of Relish. The magazine was packed with recipes and photos. One of the ones that caught my eye was for Supreme Pizza Eggrolls. 

What I liked about this recipe is that the eggrolls are baked and not deep-fried, so they are somewhat healthier. They are super easy to make and everyone loved them. I'll be making them again. 

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves minced garlic

1 pound sweet Italian sausage (I used sausage without casing. If sausage with casings are used, remove casings)

2 cups green peppers, finely chopped

1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup basil, finely chopped (I used three different types of basil)

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 pound package of egg roll wraps

1 package of sliced pepperoni

small dish of water

cooking spray

tomato or pizza sauce

Directions 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and garlic over medium-high until fragrant, about one minute. Add sausage. Break up sausage and cook until it browns, about 5 minutes. Add peppers, onions, and basil. Cook about 6 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool. Drain. 

Fill egg roll wraps with 2 slices of pepperoni and 2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture. Fold the bottom corner over the filling. Fold in sides. Brush top corner with water and wrap tightly, pressing to seal. Place rolls on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. 

Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown. 

Serve with warmed tomato or pizza sauce for dipping. 

Makes about 20 (though I only got 12 eggrolls).
