- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 15 egg roll wraps
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
Cooking and Serving:
- 1–2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 2–3 tablespoons sweet and sour sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature, ensuring smooth spreadability.
- Heat oven to 375°F and prepare baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking and easy cleanup.

- Fold lower corner tightly over filling, tucking edges inward to create a compact bundle.

- Gently brush entire surface of each roll with vegetable oil, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Arrange prepared rolls on prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking process to achieve uniform golden-brown crispness.
- Remove from oven and let cool briefly before serving to allow filling to set and exterior to maintain crunchiness.
Notes
- Cream cheese softens best at room temperature for smooth, easy mixing, avoiding lumps in the filling.
- Water helps seal egg roll wraps tightly, preventing filling from leaking during baking.
- Oil coating ensures crispy, golden exterior with even browning and extra crunch.
- Use fresh green onions for bright, zesty flavor that complements rich cream cheese.
- Flip rolls midway through baking to achieve uniform crispiness on all sides.
- Parchment paper prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup after cooking.
