Ingredients

For the Egg Rolls

  • 10 mini egg roll wrappers
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced jalapenos (fresh or pickled)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you. Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the top corner with a little water.

Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the egg rolls in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Egg Rolls

To ensure that your egg rolls are perfectly crispy, make sure the oil is hot before frying. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of the wrapper in; if it sizzles immediately, you’re ready to go. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy egg rolls.

If you want to add a personal touch, consider experimenting with the filling. You can incorporate additional ingredients like bacon bits, green onions, or even a touch of smoked paprika for a unique twist. Just make sure to maintain the balance of creamy and spicy flavors for the best results.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers, store your Mini Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep them crispy, it’s best to reheat them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This method will restore their crunch without making them greasy.

For longer storage, consider freezing the uncooked egg rolls. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to fry them, there’s no need to thaw—just add a few extra minutes to the frying time for a delicious treat anytime.
