Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pack Egg Roll Wrappers Consider rice paper for gluten-free versions.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Low-fat cream cheese can lighten the dish.
  • 2-3 whole Jalapeños Adjust quantity for milder flavors or omit for vegetarian.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack) Substitute with dairy-free cheese if lactose intolerant.
  • 4 slices Bacon Optional, can be omitted for a vegetarian-friendly recipe.
For Frying
  • 2 cups Oil Use non-dairy frying oil to meet dietary needs.

Equipment

  • Deep pan or fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, blend together softened cream cheese, chopped jalapeños, and shredded cheese until smooth. If you're including bacon, mix it in now.
  2. Take an egg roll wrapper and lay it down in a diamond shape in front of you. Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center, then moisten the edges with a touch of water. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.
  3. Pour oil into a deep pan or fryer, enough to submerge the egg rolls comfortably, and heat it to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil and fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Use tongs to gently flip them.
  5. Serve your Spicy Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls warm for the best experience. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Avoid soggy wrappers by ensuring the filling isn't too wet. Maintain oil temperature for perfect crispiness. For a lighter option, bake instead of frying.
