Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Bring to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack) Choose your favorite type of cheese.
  • 1/2 cup diced jalapenos (fresh or pickled) Choose based on your spice preference.
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Wrapper Ingredients
  • 8 egg roll wrappers Available at most grocery stores.
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola) About 2 inches in the pan.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  2. Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean, flat surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Moisten the top edge with water to seal the roll.
Cooking
  1. In a deep frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat. The oil is ready when a drop of filling sizzles upon contact.
  2. Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  3. Once cooked, remove the egg rolls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serving
  1. Enjoy the egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, BBQ, or hot sauce.

Notes

To achieve the best results, customize the spice level to your preference. Make sure to seal the egg rolls tightly. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
