Step 3: Place in the center of the wrapper about 4 oz of your mixture and fold over, use the egg mixture to seal the sides by placing a dab of egg mixture on each fold. Place the wrap crease side down on a lightly greased flat baking pan. Repeat process for each roll. After you are done with the rolls, brush the egg mixture on top of each roll.

Step 4: Bake in oven at 375 for about 20 min. Switch the oven to Broil, and broil on medium for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and serve with the brocollini stalks and you favorite sauce; I used a roasted red pepper sauce (your brocolini sauce also is a great dip).
