Description
Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls are a delicious and crispy snack filled with a creamy cheese mixture and jalapenos, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced jalapenos (fresh or pickled)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the egg rolls)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up tightly, sealing the top corner with a little beaten egg.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, frying them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy mayo.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more diced jalapenos or a splash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture.
- Bake the egg rolls instead of frying for a healthier option. Preheat the oven to 400°F, brush the egg rolls with oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
