Cheese Options: Experiment with other cheeses like American, Swiss, or even a queso blend for a twist.

Storing your homemade egg rolls properly ensures they stay fresh and delicious for later. Here’s how to store them:
Refrigerator Storage
Cool Completely: Allow the cooked egg rolls to cool completely to room temperature. Storing them while hot can make them soggy.
Use Airtight Containers: Place the egg rolls in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Storage Duration: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer Storage
Uncooked Egg Rolls: Assemble the egg rolls but do not fry them. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag, labeling with the date.
Cooked Egg Rolls: Cool completely, then wrap each egg roll tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag.
Storage Duration: Freeze for up to 3 months for the best quality.
Reheating Instructions
From the Refrigerator:
Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Place egg rolls on a baking sheet and heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Air Fryer: Heat at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
Microwave: Reheat in 30-second intervals, but note the wrapper may not stay as crispy.
From the Freezer:
Uncooked Egg Rolls: Fry or bake directly from frozen. Add 2-3 extra minutes to the cooking time.
Cooked Egg Rolls: Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
By following these storage and reheating methods, your egg rolls will maintain their crispiness and flavor, ready to enjoy whenever you like!
