Won Ton Rolls
Crispy won ton rolls filled with savory sausage, cheeses, olives, and peppers, perfect as an appetizer or party snack for flavor enthusiasts and entertaining gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Blot cooked sausage dry with paper towels and combine it with cheeses, salad dressing, olives, and peppers.
- Fill each won ton wrapper with 1 teaspoon of the sausage mixture; then wet the corners of the wrappers with water.
- Roll up the filled wrappers and fold in the corners to seal.
- Deep fry the rolls at 350°F until they are light brown and crispy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, ensure the sausage is well-drained before mixing it with the cheeses and other ingredients. You can substitute the sausage with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. If you prefer a vegetarian option, consider using a mix of sautéed mushrooms and spinach instead. Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick. Make sure to keep the filled wrappers covered to prevent them from drying out while you work.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these won ton rolls hot with a side of ranch or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor. They pair beautifully with a fresh garden salad or a bowl of soup for a hearty meal. Consider serving them alongside a quick and easy cherry delight pie for a delightful contrast in flavors. These rolls make excellent appetizers at parties or game day gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover won ton rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can bake them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until they're warm and crispy again. Avoid microwaving them, as this can make the wrappers soggy. For longer storage, freeze the unfilled wrappers and filling separately, then assemble and fry when ready to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to assemble the rolls right before frying to keep the wrappers fresh and crispy. If you’re short on time, consider making a double batch and freezing half for later use.
What can I use instead of won ton wrappers?
If you can't find won ton wrappers, you can use egg roll wrappers cut into quarters or even phyllo dough for a flakier texture. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary, so adjust accordingly to ensure they are golden brown and crispy.
How can I make these won ton rolls healthier?
To make these rolls healthier, opt for leaner meats like turkey or chicken sausage and use low-fat cheese. You can also bake the rolls instead of deep frying them. Brush them lightly with oil and bake at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking.
