Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 slices bacon
  • 2 jalapeños
  • 8 ounce cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (enough to fill a small pan 1 inch deep)

Instructions

1. Using kitchen scissors, cut the bacon into bite-size pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.

2. Finely dice the green part only of the jalapeños, discarding the seeds, stem, and white ribs.

3. In a bowl, combine the cooked bacon, diced jalapeños, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.

4. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat, with a corner facing toward you. Place a few spoonfuls of the cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper in a line. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the sides in, fold the front corner over the filling, and roll into an egg roll. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.

5. Pour vegetable oil into a small skillet or saucepan, about 1 inch deep, and place over medium heat. After 5 minutes, the oil should be at 350°F. Carefully place 2 to 3 egg rolls at a time into the oil. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.

6. Serve the Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls with jalapeño jelly, sweet Thai chili sauce, or ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

To ensure your Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls turn out perfectly crispy and delicious, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Fry at the right temperature: Maintaining the oil temperature at 350°F is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior and preventing the eggrolls from becoming greasy.

Drain excess oil: After frying, place the eggrolls on paper towels to allow any excess oil to drain off, keeping them light and crunchy.

Consider baking or air frying: For a healthier alternative, you can bake the eggrolls in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, or air fry them at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping once.
