Description
Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls: A Deliciously Crunchy Twist on a Classic Appetizer
Ingredients
- 10 slices bacon
- 2 jalapeños
- 8 ounce cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup vegetable oil (enough to fill a small pan 1 inch deep)
Instructions
1. Snip the bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
2. Finely dice the green part of the jalapeños, discarding the seeds, stem, and white ribs.
3. In a bowl, combine the cooked bacon, diced jalapeños, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.
4. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon a few tablespoon of the cream cheese filling onto the center of the wrapper in a line. Wet the edges with water, fold the sides in, fold the front corner over the filling, and roll tightly.
5. Pour vegetable oil into a small skillet or saucepan, filling it about 1 inch deep. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
6. Carefully place 2 to 3 eggrolls at a time into the hot oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
Optional dipping sauces: jalapeño jelly, sweet Thai chili sauce, or ranch dressing.
