These Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls are a spicy, crispy twist on the classic appetizer. Filled with creamy cheese, smoky bacon, and spicy jalapeños, then wrapped in egg roll wrappers and fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 4 jalapeños, seeded and diced
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ranch or dipping sauce of choice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond).
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
  4. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Use a little water to seal the edge.
  5. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  6. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid skin irritation.
  • For a less spicy version, use fewer jalapeños or remove all seeds and membranes.
  • Air fryer option: Spray egg rolls with oil and air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway.
