Description
Cheese and Za'atar fried spring rolls make the perfect quick appetizer. They take less than 30 minutes to make and are a hit at any party.
Ingredients
- 20 square 7.5" (20 cm) spring roll wrappers
- 2 cups shelal cheese (see notes above for different types of cheese)
- 1/4 cup za'atar
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Thaw spring roll wrappers.
- Place a tablespoon of cheese and a teaspoon of za'atar on the bottom edge of the wrapper, leaving some space on the sides.
- Fold the edges over the filling and roll tightly.
- Seal by dipping your finger in water, then place the spring rolls seam side down while you finish rolling them all.
- Heat the oil. You'll need just enough to submerge the spring rolls in (you'll know it's ready when you place the back of a wooden spoon in and the oil starts to bubble).
- In batches, drop the spring rolls in, stirring while they fry until golden. Remove spring rolls with a slotted spoon. Place the cooked spring rolls on a paper towel and repeat.
Notes
- You don't need to deep fry, just add enough oil to barely submerge the spring rolls.
- Spring rolls can be made ahead and frozen. Just thaw prior to frying.
