Here’s how you can make the best crispy fried cheese rolls at home with ease.
Ingredients
- 10 slices of white bread or 10 spring roll wrappers
- 1½ cups grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green chilies (optional for spice)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander or parsley
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (for extra creaminess)
- 1 egg (for sealing the rolls)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for coating)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Remove the edges of the bread slices if using bread. Flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin and even. If using spring roll wrappers, set them aside covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- In a bowl, mix together grated mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped green chilies, coriander or parsley, black pepper, salt, and mayonnaise. Stir until well combined to form the cheesy filling.
- Take one flattened bread slice or a spring roll wrapper. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling at one edge of the slice or wrapper.
- Roll it tightly like a cigar, making sure the filling stays in the center and doesn’t spill out. Seal the edge by brushing with a beaten egg or water.
- Repeat the same process for all rolls and place them on a tray.
- In three separate bowls, place all-purpose flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs.
- Dip each cheese roll first in flour, then coat it in beaten egg, and finally cover it with breadcrumbs. Make sure the roll is evenly coated from all sides.
- For extra crispiness, place the coated rolls in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before frying. This helps them hold their shape better during frying.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough, gently place a few cheese rolls into the oil, without overcrowding the pan.
- Fry the rolls until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the fried rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot with ketchup, chili sauce, or your favorite dip.
These crispy fried cheese rolls are perfect for parties, gatherings, and even lunchbox treats. You can also prepare them in advance and freeze them before frying. Just thaw slightly and fry when needed. The crispy texture and cheesy burst inside make these rolls absolutely irresistible. Customize the filling with your favorite herbs, spices, or even a little cooked chicken or vegetables for variety. Once you make these at home, you’ll never go back to store-bought snacks again!
