Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese with ½ cup of cooked bacon bits, stirring until well mixed. In a separate bowl, blend 8 oz of cream cheese with 4 diced jalapeños, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper until smooth.
- Wrap the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on your clean workspace. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheddar-bacon mixture and 1 tablespoon of the creamy jalapeño mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold the sides in, and roll tightly while sealing the edges with a bit of water.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to about 350°F. Carefully place the egg rolls in the oil and fry them in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once crispy and golden, present them hot with dipping sauces like ranch dressing or spicy mayo.

Notes
These Mini Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls are best served fresh but can be made ahead and stored for later frying.
