I remember my mom always making eggrolls (briwats) before Ramadan started to get a head start on, so that she wouldn't have to spend hours in the kitchen while fasting. She made the same 2-3 variations every Ramadan, and even though they were delicious, it was time for me to switch it up a little bit. As Moroccans, we love complex flavors and lots of spices in our foods, but I decided to keep it simple and still mouthwatering with Cheesy Spinach and Chicken Egg Rolls, which still bring me back to all those happy memories of making briwats before Ramadan.
The ingredients are easy to find at the store, so you can make them at home too, just like my mom always did. Honestly, nothing beats making these yourself instead of buying them at the store, and the best part is that you can prep them to eat whenever you are craving them. They’re crunchy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside, and packed with flavor.
Every bite reminds me of my mom’s kitchen, and I especially love eating egg rolls with soup; they go perfectly together. It’s not just a snack, it’s a little bite of nostalgia wrapped in a golden and crispy wrapper.
These cheesy spinach and chicken egg rolls taste like a creamy chicken pasta inside an eggroll, and are a fun way to spice up your appetizer rotation.
