Description

These Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls are a crispy, cheesy appetizer combining cream cheese, cheddar, crispy bacon, and spicy jalapeños wrapped in a golden eggroll wrapper. Perfectly fried for a crunchy exterior with a creamy, flavorful filling, they make a crowd-pleasing snack or party treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4–5 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Assembly

  • 15 eggroll wrappers

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the crumbled cooked bacon and finely chopped jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Assemble the eggrolls: Lay one eggroll wrapper flat on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both side corners snugly, and finally roll tightly upwards to seal the eggroll.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a skillet to a depth of about 1 to 1.5 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature for frying.
  4. Fry the eggrolls: Carefully place the assembled eggrolls into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each eggroll for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they are a golden brown color and crisp on the outside.
  5. Drain excess oil: Remove the fried eggrolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly before serving to enjoy the crispy texture and creamy interior safely.

Notes

  • Removing jalapeño seeds reduces heat if a milder appetizer is preferred.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smooth filling.
  • Do not overfill the eggroll wrappers to prevent them from bursting during frying.
  • Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 360°F for even frying and a non-greasy crust.
  • Use a slotted spoon and paper towels to remove and absorb excess oil after frying.
