Key Ingredients

  • 12 oz cooked and deveined crawfish tails
  • 13 oz andouille smoked sausage, diced
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup colby jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1.5 teaspoons creole seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 12-16 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Peanut oil for frying

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Set a large pot over medium heat and add the diced andouille sausage. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the meat is browned.
  2. Add the chopped green, red, and yellow bell peppers along with the red onions to the pot and sauté until softened.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, creole seasoning, and cayenne pepper, stirring until well combined.
  4. Stir in the colby jack and mozzarella cheeses. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Gently fold in the crawfish tails and remove the pot from the heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling the egg rolls.
  6. Place a scoop of the filling in the center of an egg roll wrapper. Brush the edges with egg wash, fold the sides in, and roll tightly to seal.
  7. Heat peanut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain them on a wire rack or paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
