6. When the jambalaya has cooled, place one egg roll sheet diagonally on a cutting board. Put ⅛ of the jambalaya. Fold the bottom then fold right and left, and roll it up tightly. Set the roll, seam side down, on a large plate or cutting board. Make 7 more rolls with the rest of jambalaya and egg roll sheets.
