Scallion Cream Cheese Rollups
Scallion Cream Cheese Rollups: Scallion and cream cheese filling rolled up in white bread, then dipped in an egg mixture and shallow fried.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened (1 block)
- 1 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 16 slices plain white sandwich bread
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups half & half
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and scallions.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the filling on the flattened bread. Do not overfill. Roll it up tightly and place seam side down. Repeat with the rest of the bread.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, half & half, salt, black pepper, everything bagel seasoning, and sriracha.
- Heat a wide frying pan and add about 1 tbsp butter and about 2 tbsp cooking oil (this is an estimate; add more oil if necessary to coat the entire bottom of your frying pan). Dip each rollup into the egg mixture and place on the frying pan. Shallow fry the rollups on medium heat, taking care to continuously roll them around to fry them evenly on all sides. Remove from pan when the rollups are golden all around. Do this in batches so the pan isn't overcrowded, adding 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp oil for each new batch. I did this in 4 batches.
- Enjoy hot or at room temperature.
