Ingredient Breakdown

Let’s talk about what you’ll need to whip up these delightful little bites:

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

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Filling (5 Minutes): In a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Stir until they’re combined and set aside. Now, in a separate bowl, take your cream cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir that too until it’s all mixed and creamy, making sure there are no lumps of cream cheese left!
Wrap It Up (15 Minutes): Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointed toward you like a diamond shape. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheddar-bacon mixture in the center, then top it off with 1 tablespoon of your cream cheese blend. It’s gonna look adorable!
Seal It Tight (5 Minutes): Grab a little bowl of water (you won’t need much) and brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with water to help it seal. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll it up tightly to form a cute little cylinder! Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling until you have a mountain of these babies.
Fry Time (10 Minutes): Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F. You want it hot, hot enough to sizzle when you drop in the egg rolls! Carefully add a few into the hot oil, making sure to not overcrowd the skillet (we don’t want them sticking together!). Fry each egg roll for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Devour (5 Minutes): Use tongs to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up that excess grease. Trust me; your taste buds are about to do a happy dance!

Freezer: Yes, these freeze beautifully! Just make sure they’re laid out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a zip-top bag.
