Tips & Substitutions
For a crispy texture, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the eggrolls. If you're looking for a twist, try adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the filling. You can also substitute Provolone with mozzarella for a milder flavor. If you prefer baking them, brush with oil and bake at 400°F until golden brown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these eggrolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the eggrolls in advance and freeze them before frying. Simply assemble and wrap them, then place in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Fry them directly from the freezer when you're ready to enjoy.
What can I substitute for the ham?
If you want to make these eggrolls without ham, consider using turkey or chicken deli slices as a leaner option. Alternatively, for a vegetarian version, try using sautéed mushrooms or spinach along with the cheese. Both options will create a delicious filling that complements the cheese well.
How do I know when the eggrolls are done frying?
Eggrolls are done frying when they are golden brown and float to the surface of the oil. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes depending on the heat. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, and use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
