Description
These Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls are the ultimate crispy snack. Creamy, cheesy, and spicy, they combine the best of jalapeño poppers with the satisfying crunch of a fried egg roll. Perfect for parties, game day, or anytime you want to impress with minimal effort.
Ingredients
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 fresh jalapeños, finely diced
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
12 egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, bacon, green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2. Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface like a diamond. Add 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then the sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the edge with water.
3. Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet or deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
5. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot with dipping sauces like ranch, chipotle mayo, or sweet chili sauce.
Notes
Make sure the oil is hot before frying to prevent soggy rolls.
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest filling.
These can be frozen before frying and cooked directly from frozen—just add a couple of minutes to the cook time.
