# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Filling

01 - 450 g ground beef (90/10 lean)
02 - 15 ml olive oil
03 - 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
04 - 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
05 - 170 g cheddar cheese, grated
06 - 2.5 ml sea salt
07 - 1.25 ml ground black pepper

→ Assembly

08 - 12 egg roll wrappers
09 - Small bowl water (for sealing wrappers)
10 - Paper towel (lightly damp, to cover wrappers)

→ For Pan Frying

11 - Vegetable oil, for deep frying

→ For Air Frying

12 - Cooking oil spray

→ Big Mac Sauce

13 - 60 ml thousand island dressing or French dressing
14 - 60 ml pickles, finely diced or dill pickle relish

# How to Prepare:

01 - Heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions, stir frequently, and cook until lightly browned.
02 - Add minced garlic to the pan and continue to cook onions and garlic until golden brown.
03 - Add ground beef, sea salt, and black pepper to the pan. Sauté until the beef is fully cooked. Remove from heat.
04 - Stir about 80 g of grated cheddar cheese into the warm beef mixture and allow it to melt using residual heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
05 - Set out a small bowl of water and cover opened egg roll wrappers with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
06 - Place an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Spoon 22 ml (1.5 tablespoons) of beef filling onto the lower middle of the wrapper, then top with a little more grated cheese. Fold up the bottom, tuck in sides, moisten the top corner with water, and roll tightly to seal.
07 - Continue filling and rolling until all wrappers are used. Set completed rolls aside.
08 - Pour enough oil into a large skillet to reach 1.25 cm depth. Heat oil over medium heat. Fry egg rolls, turning once, until both sides are golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
09 - Evenly coat each egg roll with cooking spray. Arrange egg rolls in a single layer in an air fryer basket. Cook at 200°C for 8–10 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
10 - Mix diced pickles with thousand island (or French) dressing in a small bowl until well combined.
11 - Serve hot egg rolls with Big Mac sauce for dipping.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp paper towel during assembly to prevent drying.
02 - Leftover egg roll wrappers can be filled with other ingredients for creative variations.
