Description
Crispy egg rolls filled with creamy cheese and spicy jalapeños, perfect for parties or as a tasty snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 jalapeños, seeded and diced
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese and bacon bits.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheddar-bacon mixture in the center of the wrapper, followed by 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water to help seal.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a cylinder. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry each egg roll for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use tongs to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
