Blackstone Griddle Pizza Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

For the Garlic Butter:

• 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
• 2 fresh garlic cloves, grated
• Garlic salt, to taste
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or Blackstone Tudo Italiano blend, if available)

For the Pizza Egg Rolls:

• 1 package of egg roll wrappers
• Pizza sauce (about 1-2 tbsp per roll)
• Sliced pepperoni (about 5 slices per roll)
• Low-moisture string cheese (1 piece per roll, cut in half if necessary)
• Water (for sealing the wrappers)
• Vegetable oil and safflower oil blend (for frying)

For Garnish:

• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, grated garlic cloves, garlic salt, dried parsley, and Italian seasoning.

Set aside. This will be used to brush over the egg rolls after frying for that incredible finishing flavor.

2. Assemble the Pizza Egg Rolls

• Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface.
• Spoon a small amount (1-2 tbsp) of pizza sauce onto the center of the wrapper.
• Add about five slices of pepperoni on top of the sauce.
• Place a stick of low-moisture string cheese on top. Using low-moisture cheese helps achieve the ideal melty center without it oozing too much during cooking.
• Brush the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold in the sides, then roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the edges as you go to keep everything tucked inside.

3. Preheat and Oil the Blackstone Griddle

• Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. This temperature is crucial for a quick fry that keeps the cheese intact while achieving a crispy exterior.

• Drizzle vegetable oil and safflower oil onto the griddle where you’ll place each egg roll.

4. Fry the Egg Rolls

• Carefully place each prepared egg roll onto the hot, oiled griddle.

• Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, turning with tongs as needed until all sides are golden brown and crispy. Position the egg rolls against each other to help brown the edges.
• If any cheese begins to melt out, embrace it! This adds to the presentation by giving a sneak peek of the cheesy goodness inside.

5. Add the Finishing Touches

• Once fully cooked, transfer the egg rolls to a warming rack.
• Generously brush each egg roll with the aromatic garlic butter to coat the top and sides.
• Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor.

6. Serve

Plate the egg rolls immediately while they’re warm and crispy. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness of these pizza-inspired egg rolls with a side of extra pizza sauce or marinara for dipping!

Tips and Suggestions

• Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the egg rolls and store them in the freezer. This will give you extra cooking time if making them on a hot day outdoors.
• Dipping Sauce: Serve with marinara, garlic butter, or ranch dressing for added flavor.
• Freezing Mozzarella: Freezing string cheese before assembling the rolls helps control the meltiness while cooking, especially in warm weather.

Variations

• Veggie Pizza Rolls: Substitute pepperoni with chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions.
• BBQ Chicken Egg Rolls: Replace pizza sauce with BBQ sauce, add shredded chicken, and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
• Supreme Pizza Egg Rolls: Add pepperoni, diced green peppers, onions, and black olives for a supreme pizza twist.

Storage

These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, let them cool and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Reheat on the Blackstone or in the oven for a few minutes until they regain their crispiness.
