Ingredients
-
Jefferson Jellies Hot Pepper Jelly
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
-
1 (12-ounce) package boudin sausage, casings removed, crumbled
-
2 cups shredded green cabbage
-
¼ cup chopped green onion
-
2 tablespoons Creole mustard
-
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
-
1 large egg
-
1 tablespoon water
-
15 egg roll wrappers
Instructions
-
Heat the oil: Fill a large Dutch oven halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°F.
-
Make the filling: In a large bowl, stir together the boudin, cabbage, green onion, Creole mustard, and Creole seasoning. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water for your egg wash.
-
Assemble the rolls:
-
Place an egg roll wrapper on your work surface with one corner pointed toward you.
-
Add about 2 tablespoons of the boudin mixture to the center and shape it into a log.
-
Brush the edges of the wrapper with egg wash.
-
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.
-
Place seam side down and repeat with remaining wrappers.
-
-
Fry until golden: Working in batches, fry the egg rolls, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown — about 3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve and enjoy: Serve warm with Jefferson Jellies Hot Pepper Jelly for dipping or drizzling.
Tips for the Perfect Boudin Egg Rolls
-
Crispier finish: Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying — it keeps the temperature steady and ensures even crisping.
-
Air fryer option: Brush rolls with oil and air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
Add more flavor: Try mixing a little pepper jelly right into the boudin filling for an extra layer of sweet heat.
