These crispy, creamy mini egg rolls are filled with a blend of cheese, bacon, and spicy jalapeños, bringing the flavors of jalapeño poppers into a fun and delicious handheld treat. Perfect for parties or as an appetizer, they’re sure to be a hit!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 jalapeños, seeded and diced
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese and bacon bits.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

2️⃣ Assemble the Egg Rolls:

  • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.
  • Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheddar-bacon mixture in the center of the wrapper, followed by 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top.
  • Brush the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water to help seal.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a cylinder. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

3️⃣ Fry the Egg Rolls:

  • Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
  • Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
  • Fry each egg roll for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Use tongs to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4️⃣ Serve:
Serve hot with a side of ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Customize the Spice Level: For milder rolls, use fewer jalapeños or remove all seeds. Add extra jalapeños for more heat.
  • Air Fryer Option: For a lighter version, brush the egg rolls lightly with oil and cook in an air fryer at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
