  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat eggs and milk together to make egg wash.
  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, peppers, mushrooms, and cayenne until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Mix in pepper Jack cheese until thoroughly combined and starting to melt, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place equal amounts of the filling mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in side corners and roll up, sealing edges with egg wash.
  • Cook egg rolls in the hot oil until they float to the top and turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Lay flat on paper towels to drain, standing on their ends to drain any excess oil.
