Quick and easy Mini Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls that your family will devour! A fun appetizer that’s perfect for any gathering.
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 until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper; stir until well blended and creamy.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheddar-bacon mixture in the center, followed by about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a cylinder.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling; lay completed rolls on a tray.
- Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F.
- Carefully add egg rolls to the oil, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side 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.
- Let them cool briefly before serving.
