👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Scrambled Egg Filling

1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scramble the eggs until just set (still slightly soft). Remove from heat.

3. Stir in ham, cheeses, green onions, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let cool slightly.

2. Preheat Oven & Prep Baking Sheet

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil.

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape (one corner pointing toward you).

2. Spoon about ¼ cup of filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.

3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners.

4. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the tip with a dab of water.

5. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

4. Brush & Bake

1. Lightly brush or spray the tops of the egg rolls with oil or melted butter.

2. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning if desired.

3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve

• Garnish with extra green onions.

• Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce for dipping.
