I’m pretty sure I have mentioned before that I used to work in a restaurant. It was a pretty decent living but I was so, so bored.

That’s actually one of the reasons I started this blog – it was my escape from the daily doldrums of slinging plates and taking food and drink orders.

The restaurant that I worked at closed in February – don’t worry, I’m not going to get all nostalgic on you. Well, maybe just a little.

If you work in a restaurant for any length of time, you probably did what I did – eat everything on the menu over and over again. By the end of my “restaurant residency”, there were only 6 dishes on that menu that I could eat on a regular basis.

I’ve decided to make my way through those 6 dishes here, creating my version of the recipes since I can never order them again.

Baked Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

One of my favorites were their fried egg rolls stuffed with chicken and buffalo sauce. I try not to fry food in my house and I can’t really eat fried food at restaurants so I decided to make baked buffalo chicken egg rolls at home.

Why not cut calories wherever you can, right?

That statement is especially true when you are filling the egg rolls with lots of buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles. Both of those things top my list of “Favorite Foods to Put on Everything” and I couldn’t resist filling these babies up.

After the egg rolls are done baking, serve them with sides of additional buffalo sauce and some blue cheese crumbles drizzled on top. Ramekins of ranch and blue cheese dressing and a few celery sticks don’t hurt either.

I like to drizzle the buffalo sauce all over the top of the eggs rolls, then dip it into more buffalo sauce followed by blue cheese dressing. I can’t help but make it gluttonous I guess, whether I fry it or bake it.

If you love buffalo chicken egg rolls but want to attempt to eat healthier, this fun appetizer recipe is the next one you should try!

    I am digging these because they are a great way to serve those famous flavors! Everyone is bringing buffalo chicken dip, but these come with the added bonus of not having to worry about people double dipping in the bowl! Thanks for linking up to #SaucySaturdays!

    these look amazing!! I love egg rolls but frying them means a lot of calories to chow down in one sitting – and it’s hard to have just one piece! Thanks for this, I can’t wait to try it out 😉
