Instructions
Making Mini Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Prepare the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center.
3. Roll the Egg Roll: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold the two side corners toward the center, then roll it up tightly to seal. Use a bit of water to moisten the edges and help seal the roll.
4. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. You’ll want enough oil to submerge the egg rolls halfway.
5. Fry the Egg Rolls: Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few egg rolls in the oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. Repeat: Continue this process until all egg rolls are cooked.
8. Serve Warm: Enjoy the egg rolls while they are hot and crispy!
