Ingredients
- 2 cup cooked shredded beef brisket
- 1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2–3 jalapeños, seeded and diced
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- Oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. To create these Texas-style delights, you’ll need a few key ingredients:
2. Combine the shredded beef brisket, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and diced jalapeños in a bowl. Mix these ingredients together until the filling is well-blended and the textures are seamlessly integrated.
3. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean work surface. Scoop 2-3 tablespoon of the creamy filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold in the sides of the wrapper and tightly roll it up, sealing the edge with a bit of water to ensure a secure seal.
4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F. Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re crispy and evenly browned. Drain the fried egg rolls on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
5. In a small saucepan, warm the honey and butter over low heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the mixture is well-combined. If you’re looking to add a subtle kick, stir in a teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Drizzle the warm honey mixture over the freshly fried egg rolls.
