Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the bacon jalapeño popper mixture onto the wrapper.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, using a little water on the edges to seal the egg roll.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the fryer for even cooking.
- Drain and Serve:
- Remove the egg rolls 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 or sweet chili sauce.
Notes
- Ensure the egg rolls are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños to control the spiciness.
