Pizza sauce
Crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F or heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F if frying.
Lay out an egg roll wrapper and add a small spoonful of pizza sauce in the center.
Place a few slices of pepperoni on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni.
Roll the wrapper tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Seal the edge with a bit of egg wash.
Brush each roll with egg wash and coat with crushed Doritos, pressing lightly to adhere.
If baking, place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy. If frying, carefully lower the rolls into hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven or fryer and let cool slightly before serving with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
