WHAT DO YOU PUT IN Breakfast Egg ROLLS
The beauty of this recipe is that it uses multiple make-ahead breakfast components. And it’s easily adaptable. These breakfast egg rolls are rocking:
- Scrambled eggs (related: Make-Ahead Scrambled Eggs)
- Bacon (related: Air Fryer Bacon, Air Fryer Turkey Bacon, and How to Bake Bacon in the Oven)
- Sausage (related: Whole30 Breakfast Sausage)
- Cheese – I added mine to the scrambled eggs while they were cooking
Pro tip: undercook the scrambled eggs a bit as they will continue to cook in the air fryer.
You can totally customize these breakfast rolls to your preferences. Saute up some veggies, add beans, tofu, or avocado and add them to the rolls. If you have some leftover Instant Pot Ham, using cubbed ham is a great option.
HOW DO YOU WRAP AN EGG ROLL?
I came up with this handy little step-by-step photo guide for you.
Serve with chipotle sauce, cilantro chimichurri, salsa, ranch (related: greek yogurt ranch), sour cream, or maple syrup. Enjoy with a side of skillet-fried potatoes.

Dear Sarah,
Love the idea of breakfast egg rolls! Long time egg roll and spring roll maker, but I only used traditional Chinese fillings. This is for sure is going on my next week’s grocery list.
I have read your blog for years and finally decided to be more courageous (my goal for this year) and comment! I have always wanted to tell you that you are amazing, bold, courageous, and filled with goodness.
Thank you for sharing the stories of your life!
It’s a fun change from the more traditional savory egg roll.
Congrats on achieving your 2019 goal Kelly!! You’re doing awesome and I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
These seem like the perfect breakfast option for my new one-handed breakfast theme (baby wants to be held ALL THE TIME. Adorable, but difficult to eat like that). Can’t wait to try!
Ohhhh, I get that. My youngest was the same way until 4 months. Do you have a carrier or a wrap so at least you can use two hands sometimes?
I use the carrier a lot while out of the house but haven’t much while home. I just bought a mesh ring sling though and am hoping to use that at home more. She’s started grabbing for things and I thought the sling would give her more arm movement. We had a wrap from the hospital in Norway but it was soooo hot. We needed it at the time (no baby gear on vacation!) but got rid of it when she was big enough for the carrier.
These look amazing! I’ve never used egg roll wrappers. Do you think rice roll wrappers would also work?
Sadly I think they’ll be too sticky unless you want to serve them without frying them.
