Description
Explore a zesty twist on traditional appetizers with Mini Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls. Packed with creamy cheese, crispy bacon, and a spicy kick from jalapenos, these rolls are perfect for any gathering or snack time delight.
Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4–6 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
3–5 jalapenos, seeded and diced
2 green onions, finely sliced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Wonton wrappers (around 22)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, diced jalapenos, sliced green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly like a burrito, sealing the edges with water.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or sweet chili sauce.
Notes
Ensure the oil is adequately heated for crispy results.
Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of jalapenos used.
