Notes
Make Ahead Recipe
If you are feeding a crowd, get the crab meat mixture in the egg roll wrappers all wrapped up and sealed, place on a baking sheet, cover and refrigerate until ready to fry or bake.I have popped the baking sheet in the oven and 30 minutes later baked on 350-degree Fahrenheit, they were ready for my guests to enjoy. Since they were filled and rolled ahead of time, and all I had to do is get them into the oven, this helped reduce my stress level.
Can the Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls Be Frozen?
Yes, they can! Once the egg rolls are rolled and closed, they can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months.When you are ready to make them just remove them from the freeze and fry carefully in hot oil or bake in the oven until golden brown on the outside.These Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls are always a great choice as they are a party favorite and even the kids enjoy them.
