These crispy prosciutto wrapped mozzarella egg rolls are the perfect salty, cheesy appetizer. Easy to prep and impossible to resist!
There’s something about a crispy, golden egg roll that just does it for me. But when you swap the usual filling for mozzarella cheese and salty prosciutto? Game over. These Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Egg rolls are the kind of snack you make “just to try it” and end up doubling the batch because they vanish instantly.
This recipe is salty, savory, perfectly cheesy, and delivers that satisfying crunch with every single bite. I love serving these up as a quick appetizer for friends, a fun side with dinner, or a late-night snack when I’m craving something crispy and melty.
You only need a handful of ingredients, no deep frying (unless you want to), and they’re ready in less than 10 minutes. Yes, please.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- Easy to prep – just roll, seal, and cook.
- Big flavor – the prosciutto brings the salt, the mozzarella brings the melt, and the eggroll wrapper brings the crunch.
- Perfectly dippable – pair with marinara, ranch, or your fave hot honey.
- Crowd-pleasing – they’ll go fast. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Egg rolls
Ingredients
- 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks or fresh mozzarella cut into logs
- 6 slices of prosciutto
- 6 eggroll wrappers
- Small bowl of water for sealing
- Cooking spray or a bit of oil for air frying or pan frying
Instructions
- Wrap the mozzarella: Lay out one slice of prosciutto and place a mozzarella stick on top. Roll it up tightly.
- Assemble the eggroll: Place the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella diagonally on an eggroll wrapper. Fold the sides in, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Use a little water to seal the edge.
- Pan fry: Add a thin layer of oil to a pan and crisp on all sides until golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. I like mine with warm marinara or a spicy garlic aioli.
Notes
Tips:
- Use low-moisture mozzarella to avoid cheese leaks.
- Don’t overfill! It’ll make rolling tricky and they’ll burst.
- Want to get fancy? Add a basil leaf inside for that Italian flair.
Final Thoughts:
These eggrolls are what happen when your favorite appetizer meets your late-night snack cravings. They’re melty, crispy, salty, and just so satisfying. You can prep them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge until ready to cook—hello, easy hosting.
