Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 6 minute

Ingredients

– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ¼ cup crumbled cooked bacon (about 4 slices)
– 2-3 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Egg roll wrappers
– Vegetable oil for frying


Instructions

Creating these delicious Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls is simple! Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2. Set Up Your Work Area: Lay out a cutting board or clean surface and keep your egg roll wrappers nearby. Have a small bowl of water ready for sealing the egg rolls.

3. Begin Wrapping: Take one egg roll wrapper and lay it flat, oriented in a diamond shape. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

4. Seal the Roll: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly away from you to form a cylinder. Use water to seal the end of the wrapper.

5. Repeat: Continue this process until all filling is used. Lay the finished eggrolls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

6. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

7. Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully place a few eggrolls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

8. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggrolls from the oil. Allow them to drain on paper towels.

9. Keep Warm: If needed, keep warm in an oven set to low while you fry the remaining eggrolls.

10. Serve with Dipping Sauce: Pair your eggrolls with ranch dressing, salsa, or a spicy sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
