For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños to the meat mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Monterey Jack, cheddar, or even a spicy pepper jack would be delicious. Make ahead: The filling can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble the egg rolls just before frying. For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls instead of frying. Brush them with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Recipe View 25 mins Assemble the Egg Rolls: Working on a clean, flat surface, place an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Place 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center of the wrapper and top with a slice of cheese. Fold the corner closest to you over the meat mixture and roll the wrapper over the mixture 1-1/2 times. Fold in the two opposite side corners and continue rolling the wrapper so it covers these corners, tucking them in. Dip two fingers in the egg whites and brush the remaining corner, pressing it to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers. (20-30 minutes)
