1 ½ cups shredded Irish cheddar cheese
3 green onions, chopped
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
12 egg roll wrappers

2 tbsp prepared horseradish
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
-
Cook the sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until fully browned and crumbly. Drain excess grease and allow it to cool slightly. -
Prepare the filling
In a large bowl combine the cooked sausage, drained sauerkraut, shredded Irish cheddar, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. -
Fill the egg rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on your work surface. Add about 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center. -
Roll the egg rolls
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the edge with beaten egg to seal. -
Fry the egg rolls
Heat oil to 350°F in a deep skillet or fryer. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning until golden brown and crispy. -
Drain
Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. -
Make the dipping sauce
In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, horseradish, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. -
Serve
Serve the crispy Irish egg rolls warm with horseradish dipping sauce.
Notes
Make sure the sauerkraut is very well drained to prevent soggy egg rolls.
