Ingredients

Scale

For the Cream Cheese Filling

8 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions

For the Wraps

15 egg roll wraps
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for coating)

Dipping Sauce

3 tablespoons sweet and sour sauce

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic salt, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well integrated and creamy.
Assemble Rolls: Lay out one egg roll wrapper flat. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom half of the wrapper.
Roll and Seal: Moisten the top edge of the wrapper with water. Roll tightly from the bottom, folding sides in like an envelope to seal the edges securely. Repeat this process for all the remaining wrappers and filling.
Coat with Oil: Roll each assembled egg roll in vegetable oil to coat evenly. This helps achieve a crispy exterior while baking.
Bake Rolls: Place the coated rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 13 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce or your choice of dipping sauce for a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and to achieve a smooth filling.
Moistening the edges of the wrappers is essential for proper sealing to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
Flipping the rolls halfway through baking guarantees even crispness on all sides.
These rolls can be paired with a variety of sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a tangy raspberry vinaigrette for different flavor experiences.
Serve alongside Asian slaw, jasmine or basmati rice, or cucumber salad to complement and balance flavors.
