Bacon Jalapeno Popper Eggrolls (Print Version)

Crispy eggrolls with creamy, spicy filling featuring bacon and jalapeños for savory appetizer enjoyment.

# What You Need:

→ Filling

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 6 slices)
04 - 3 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
05 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/4 tsp onion powder
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
08 - 2 green onions, finely sliced

→ Assembly

09 - 12 eggroll wrappers
10 - 1 egg, beaten for sealing

→ Frying

11 - Vegetable oil for deep frying

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and green onions. Mix until thoroughly combined.
02 - Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Place 2 tablespoons of filling near the center.
03 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both side corners. Roll up tightly, brushing the final corner with beaten egg to seal.
04 - Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until all eggrolls are rolled.
05 - Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F.
06 - Fry eggrolls in batches without overcrowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch.
07 - Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly before serving.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of smoky bacon and spicy jalapeños wrapped in crispy, golden goodness is absolutely addictive
  • They come together faster than you'd think, and you can even prep them ahead for easy party hosting
02 -
  • Overcrowding the oil drops the temperature dramatically, leading to greasy, soggy eggrolls instead of crispy ones
  • Make sure the oil returns to 350°F between batches for consistent, restaurant-quality results
03 -
  • Work quickly with the wrappers and cover any you're not actively using to prevent drying
  • Use kitchen shears to trim any excess wrapper before sealing for neater-looking eggrolls
