Instructions
Making Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls is a straightforward process. Follow these step-by-step instructions for the best results:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Set Up the Wrapping Station: Lay out your eggroll wrappers on a clean surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to seal the eggroll edges.
3. Fill the Wrappers:
– Place about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each eggroll wrapper.
– Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Wet the top corner with water to seal.
4. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, add about 2-3 inches of oil and heat to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.
5. Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully add a few eggrolls to the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once fried, remove the eggrolls using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7. Repeat: Continue the process until all eggrolls are fried.
8. Serve Hot: Allow to cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
