3. Coat the rolls

  • Roll in flour (light coat).

  • Dip in beaten eggs.

  • Coat with breadcrumbs (press lightly so it sticks).

4. Fry until golden

5. Serve hot
Drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve warm with marinara, garlic sauce, or ranch dip.

🥬 Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

  • Bread: White bread works best, but whole wheat or brioche can be used.

  • Cheese: Mozzarella = best melt; cheddar = sharper flavor; pepper jack = spicy twist.

  • Breadcrumbs: Use panko for crunch, or mix with grated Parmesan for flavor boost.

  • Oil: Neutral oils like vegetable, canola, or sunflower are best for frying.

🍽 Variations & Serving Suggestions

  • Spicy Kick: Add chili flakes or paprika to breadcrumb coating.

  • Pizza Rolls: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce before rolling in cheese.

  • Ham & Cheese Rolls: Add a slice of ham before rolling for extra flavor.

  • Serve With: Marinara sauce, garlic aioli, ranch, or spicy sriracha mayo.

❄️ Storage & Make-Ahead

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

  • Freezer: Freeze uncooked coated rolls up to 1 month. Fry directly from frozen (add 1–2 minutes cook time).

  • Reheating: Air fry or bake at 375°F for 5–7 minutes for best crunch.
