Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center, fold the bottom corner over, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly upwards, sealing the edges with water.
- In a skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully place 4 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flip and repeat for the other side.
- Remove the fried egg rolls using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Pair with dipping sauce like ranch or spicy salsa for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
