# What You'll Need:

→ Rice Paper & Main Fillings

01 - 12 rice paper sheets
02 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese alternative)
03 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
04 - 1/2 cup sliced black olives
05 - 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
06 - 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
07 - 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
08 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

→ For Cooking

10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)

# Directions:

01 - Prepare all filling ingredients and set up a work station with a large shallow bowl of warm water.
02 - Dip one rice paper sheet into the warm water for about 5–10 seconds until just pliable. Lay it flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
03 - Spread about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of the rice paper.
04 - Top with a small amount of mozzarella, olives, bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes.
05 - Fold in the sides of the rice paper, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling (similar to rolling a burrito or spring roll).
06 - Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets and fillings.
07 - Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place rolls seam-side down in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Work in batches if necessary.
08 - Remove and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in under 30 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry
  • The contrast between the crispy exterior and melty cheesy interior hits every single craving
02 -
  • Over soaking the rice paper makes it impossible to work with so err on the side of under soaking
  • Let them cool for at least 2 minutes after cooking or the cheese will burn your mouth and ruin the experience
03 -
  • Make sure your oil is properly heated before adding the rolls or they will absorb too much oil and turn soggy
  • Cut them in half after cooking for easier eating and to show off that beautiful cross section of melted cheese
