INGREDIENTS
- 8 eggroll wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeños, green onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully blended and evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Eggrolls: Lay one eggroll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture diagonally across the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides tightly, and roll up into a burrito shape. Use a dab of water on the edges to seal the wrapper securely. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully place the eggrolls, seam side down, into the hot oil. Fry in small batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the eggrolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, sour cream, or a spicy aioli.
NOTES
- These eggrolls are the perfect combination of spicy, creamy, and crunchy, making them a hit for appetizers or party snacks.
- For an extra kick, leave some seeds in the jalapeños or add a dash of cayenne to the filling.
