  1. Mix filling
    Thaw crab cakes. In a medium bowl, combine crab cake meat, cream cheese, Old Bay, and shredded cheddar until well blended. 

  2. Prep egg wash
    Whisk an egg with 1 Tbsp water or milk in a small cup for sealing wrappers.

  3. Assemble egg rolls
    Lay wrapper on a clean surface. Brush edges with egg wash. Spoon ~2–3 Tbsp filling in the center, top with sliced scallions. Fold edges and roll tightly. Place prepared rolls on a tray or freeze to set.

  4. Heat oil
    Warm oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F.

  5. Fry
    Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown—about 4–5 minutes, turning as needed for even crisping. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165 °F.

  6. Serve
    Drain briefly on paper towels. Garnish with extra scallions and enjoy while hot!
