(2023) Oven-Baked Country Bacon & Collard Egg Rolls

From “Egg Rolls & Sweet Tea: Asian Inspired, Southern Style” by Natalie Keng.

“Yay” for collard greens in today’s box (at least in ours). I’ve been wanting to try the recipe below for baked collard green egg rolls from the new cookbook out from Atlanta sauce maven and author Natalie Keng. It won’t use all the collards, but it will use some of the cabbage I have stored in the refrigerator and that last green onion from two weeks ago. I love peanut sauce on anything, and while we love egg rolls here, I’m anxious to try these baked egg rolls which I think will be so much easier than frying. Not to mention healthier.
