Our first apartment was about a block from a California Pizza Kitchen, and while they have some pretty good pizza at CPK, the best thing on the menu? The Avocado Club Egg Rolls. They are egg roll wrappers stuffed with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, and avocado before being deep fried to perfection. And you serve them up with some spicy ranch? I am drooling while typing this.

I recently realized I had some egg roll wrappers in our freezer from a previous recipe, and for some reason was craving CPK’s avocado club egg rolls! I made this recipe easier by using rotisserie chicken from Costco instead of cooking my own chicken, but you could use whatever kind of cooked chicken you like.

I do think that the official California Pizza Kitchen avocado club egg roll calls for Monterey jack cheese instead of pepper jack. Because I was using rotisserie chicken, which is relatively plain, I think the pepper jack was perfect because it added a bit more flavor. Pepper jack cheese is essentially Monterey jack cheese with peppers added to it. I don’t think it is very spicy, but if you are super super sensitive, just opt for Monterey Jack!

How to Make Avocado Club Egg Rolls

Equipment Needed

Deep Skillet

I use this exact Cuisinart skillet for this recipe because it has tall sides for frying oil

Cooking Thermometer

I use a cooking thermometer almost exactly like this one to monitor the temperature of my oil. The temperature will drop when you add the egg rolls, so I can turn up the heat to try to keep it close to 375 all the time.

Stainless Steel Slotted Spoon, Tongs, or Spider Skimmer

Because you are cooking with hot oil, avoid using plastic utensils unless you want to risk them melting! I recommend using tongs to be able to flip the egg rolls in the oil and to remove them from the oil and transfer them.

Ingredients In Avocado Club Egg Rolls

• Egg roll wrappers (I generally use this brand)
• Cooked chicken: I use rotisserie chicken from Costco but you can prepare the chicken however you desire!
• Cooked bacon
• Pepper jack cheese
• Tomato: I used quartered grape tomatoes, but you could use a roma tomato instead!
• Avocado
• Vegetable oil
• Egg
• Spicy ranch for serving (I especially like the Aldi Organic Spicy ranch)

How to Roll The Egg Roll

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a plate in front of you with a corner facing you. Using a pastry brush or your finger, brush the egg wash along all 4 sides of the wrapper.

Place a bit of the chicken, cheese, bacon, tomato, and avocado into the lower third of the wrapper, being sure not to over fill and leaving about an inch gap from the sides of the wrapper.

Fold the corner closest to you up towards the corner farthest from you, tucking the filling into a tight bundle. Fold the side corners over towards one another and the roll towards the farthest corner until all the corners are sealed.

Set aside and repeat with remaining rolls.
