Shrimp and Cheese Eggrolls

Traditional egg rolls are tasty because they are deep fried. The fillings tend to be boring, the only flavor coming from the oil they’ve been deep fried in. The flavor of these eggrolls is delicious, from the variety of sautéed vegetables, shrimp, tomato sauce and cheese. No reason to deep fry.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 425°f. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic for 3 minutes.Add the carrots and pepper, and sauté over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and sauté for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp just turns pink. Remove from the heat. Stir in the tomato sauce and havarti and Parmesan cheeses.

3. Put 1 wrapper on a work surface with 1 corner pointing toward you. Keep the rest of wrappers covered with a cloth to prevent them from drying out. Put 2 Tbsp of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the lower corner up over the filling, fold in the 2 sides and roll the bundle away from you. Arrange onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.

4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden, turning the rolls halfway through the baking time.
