• 1/2 cup Chopped Yellow Peppers
• 1/2 cup Chopped Red Peppers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps and you’ll have golden Voodoo Egg Rolls on the table before your favorite sitcom hits the first commercial.

1. Get Things Sizzling

In a large pot over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter and toss in the sliced Cajun sausage. Let it sizzle for 7–8 minutes until it’s beautifully browned and aromatic. Your kitchen should already smell amazing.

2. Add the Color and Cream

Throw in the garlic, peppers (all three colors!), and red onions. Pour in the heavy cream and season it like you mean it—with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and Creole seasoning. Stir to combine and let those flavors mingle.

3. Time for Cheese, Please

Once your sauce thickens just a tad, stir in the Colby Jack and mozzarella. Mix until melted and creamy, about 4–5 minutes. You should have a gooey, Cajun-style queso vibe happening. That’s your voodoo filling!

4. Wrap ‘Em Up

Lay out an egg roll wrapper like a diamond. Add a generous scoop of the cheesy crawfish mix in the center. Brush the edges with egg wash, fold like a burrito (bottom, sides, top), and seal it tight.

5. Fry and Fly

Heat peanut oil to about 350°F. Carefully fry the egg rolls for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and try not to eat them all before serving.

Pro Tips & Tricks

• Too spicy? Skip the cayenne or use half the Creole seasoning to tone it down.
• Cheese swap: Not a Colby Jack fan? Pepper Jack or a smoky cheddar adds even more kick.
• Air fryer alert: Air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Freezer hack: Freeze before frying. Wrap in foil and pop into a freezer bag. When ready, fry straight from frozen—just add an extra minute or two.

A Personal Kitchen Story

This Voodoo Egg Rolls recipe came to life during a Mardi Gras potluck at a friend’s house in Baton Rouge.

Let’s just say I left with an empty tray and five recipe requests. Now, it’s a staple in my kitchen every time I want a little “Bayou boldness” without a lot of fuss.
