Air fryer cheeseburger egg rolls offer a delicious fusion of classic American flavors and the crispy texture of Asian-inspired egg rolls. To create these savory delights, start by combining seasoned ground beef with diced onions, pickles, and shredded cheese, mimicking the taste of a juicy cheeseburger. Spoon the flavorful mixture onto egg roll wrappers, roll them up tightly, and secure the edges to create neat, compact parcels.
The air fryer comes into play to transform these cheeseburger-filled egg rolls into golden, crunchy perfection. With its rapid hot air circulation, the air fryer ensures an even and crispy exterior without the need for excessive oil, making these cheeseburger egg rolls a healthier alternative to deep-frying.

The exterior boasts a satisfying crunch, while the inside reveals a melty, cheesy, and savory filling. These air-fried cheeseburger egg rolls can be served as a creative appetizer, snack, or even a fun and flavorful party dish.
Enhance the experience by offering a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or a tangy special sauce, to complement the cheeseburger flavors. The air fryer not only makes the cooking process quick and efficient but also ensures that each bite is a delightful balance of textures and tastes. Add this innovative twist to your repertoire of air fryer recipes for a crowd-pleasing treat that captures the essence of a cheeseburger in a delightful egg roll form.

These Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are everything you’d want in a burger, all rolled up!
prep time: 30 MINS
cook time: 15 MINS
total time: 45 MINS
calories: 112KCAL
yield: 16 EGG ROLLS
Ingredients
- ¼ cup diced onions
- 1 lb 95% lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning, I use McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger seasoning
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 4 wedges The Laughing Cow Queso Fresco & Chipotle cheese, chopped (you can definitely substitute other flavors)
- 1 oz 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (I use Cabot)
- ¼ cup diced dill pickles, I love Claussen
- 8 grape tomatoes, chopped
- 16 egg roll wrappers
Instructions
- 1. Lightly mist a large skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for a couple minutes until the onions start to turn translucent. Add the ground beef and hamburger seasoning and cook, breaking up with a spoon or spatula, until the meat is brown and cooked through. Drain any liquid from the pan and discard.
- 2. Transfer the meat to a microwavable mixing bowl and add the ketchup, mustard and chopped Laughing Cow cheese wedges. Stir together and then heat in the microwave on high for 1 minute to soften the cheese. Stir again, mashing the cheese wedges, until the mixture is well combined and the meat is coated. Add the shredded cheddar, pickles and tomatoes and stir until well combined.
- 3. Preheat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly mist the foil with cooking spray.
- 4. Pour water into a small dish and set aside. On a clean, flat surface, place an egg roll wrapper, corner facing toward you (like a diamond) and place a scant ¼ cup of the meat mixture on the center of the wrapper. Spread the mixture in a horizontal line from the left corner to the right corner of the wonton wrapper, leaving ½ inch or so of space on each side. Fold the bottom corner closest to you up over the ingredients and give it a 90 degree roll. Fold the side corners in and tuck them as you give the filled section another 90 degree roll. Dip your finger in the dish or reserved water and lightly wet the edges of the remaining top corner of the wrapper. Finish rolling the filled egg roll over the wet corner so that it adheres. Use your finger to wet and seal the seam on the outside. Place wrapped egg roll onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- 5. When all of the egg rolls are wrapped and on the baking sheets, lightly mist the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 14-16 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the wrappers are golden brown.
