Ingredients
- 8 large phyllo or spring roll wrappers 🥖
- 1 lb ground beef 🥩
- 1 small onion, finely chopped 🧅
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ⚫
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika 🌶️
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin 🌿
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
- 1 egg yolk (for brushing) 🥚
- 1 tablespoon milk 🥛
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare 🔥
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. - Cook the Beef Mixture 🥩
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. - Assemble the Rolls 🥖🧀
Lay a wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the lower part of the wrapper. Sprinkle with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up, sealing the edge with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers. - Brush & Bake 🔥
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Lightly brush each roll with the egg mixture for a golden-brown finish. Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with olive oil for extra crispiness. - Bake to Perfection 🏆
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy. For an extra crunch, you can broil them for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking. - Serve & Enjoy! 🍽️
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce like garlic yogurt, spicy mayo, or a simple ketchup dip.
