How to Make Ultimate Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls
Start by preparing your filling. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup softened cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup chopped cooked bacon, and 1 cup chopped jalapeños (fresh or pickled). Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Add 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until all the spices are evenly incorporated.
Next, preheat your oil for frying. Heat vegetable or canola oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F. While the oil heats, prepare your eggroll wrappers. Lay out 12 eggroll wrappers on a clean surface and place about 1/4 cup of the cheese and bacon mixture in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling, sealing the edges with a little water or egg wash to keep the mixture inside. Roll the wrapper tightly from one end to the other, forming a log shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Once all eggrolls are assembled, carefully lower them into the hot oil. Fry for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately while hot and crispy, optionally with a side of ranch or blue cheese dip for dipping.
These eggrolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the fryer, when the outside is crisp and the inside is warm and creamy. They’re incredibly versatile and can be made ahead of time for parties, or simply whipped up on a weeknight when you crave something indulgent.
