Clean swaps
How we upgrade the restaurant version with better ingredients.
- Vegetable or Canola oil (typical restaurant) → Avocado oil — Eliminates industrial seed oils for heart-healthy fats.
- Processed cream cheese → Organic grass-fed cream cheese — Provides a cleaner source of protein and saturated fat without additives.
- Refined sugar in dipping sauce → Raw honey — Replaces bleached white sugar with a natural nectar.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocado, softened cream cheese, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, and salt.
- Mix the filling thoroughly until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Place 4 egg roll wrappers on a clean surface; place 1 tablespoon of filling near the bottom edge of each wrapper.
- Fold in the sides of the wrappers toward the center, then roll tightly upward while pressing down to seal the edge.
- Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the rolls in the skillet (do not overcrowd) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain on a wire rack or paper towel and serve immediately while warm.
FAQ
Is this Cheesecake Factory-Style Avocado Egg Roll gluten-free?
It depends on the wrapper used. To make it fully gluten-free, look for certified gluten-free organic egg roll wrappers.
Can I bake these instead of frying them?
Yes! Brush the outside with a little extra avocado oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden.
How do I keep the filling from falling out?
Ensure your filling isn't too watery by draining excess moisture from the avocado. Roll them tightly and use a tiny dab of water to 'glue' the edge shut.
