2. Assemble the Eggrolls
- Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, positioning it with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the left and right corners toward the center. Roll the wrapper tightly to enclose the filling.
- Moisten the top corner with water to seal the eggroll securely.
- Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the assembled eggrolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll lightly with olive oil or melted butter to promote crispiness.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, turning the rolls halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Remove from the oven and let the eggrolls cool slightly before serving.
