Description
Delightful crunch and creamy, spicy filling wrapped in a crispy exterior, perfect for parties or a 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
- Combine the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon bits in a medium-sized bowl.
- Mix the softened cream cheese with diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth in a separate bowl.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheddar-bacon mixture in the center followed by 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with water to seal it. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly.
- Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
- Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Notes
For extra crunch, ensure your oil is heated to the right temperature—350°F is ideal for frying. Don’t overcrowd the skillet to avoid soggy egg rolls.
