Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls (Print-Friendly Version)

Smoky bacon, spicy jalapeños, and creamy cheese wrapped in crispy golden eggrolls for bold flavor in every bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 250 g cream cheese, softened
02 - 80 g shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 80 g shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 100 g cooked bacon, finely chopped
05 - 3 jalapeños, finely chopped
06 - 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Assembly

10 - 12 eggroll wrappers

→ Frying

11 - 3 tablespoons olive oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Lay each eggroll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond orientation.
02 - Combine cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, chopped bacon, jalapeños, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each wrapper. Do not overfill.
04 - Fold the bottom point of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll towards the top, sealing the filling securely inside.
05 - If needed, moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little water to help seal.
06 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
07 - Working in batches, place eggrolls in the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry 3–4 minutes, rotating as needed, until golden brown and evenly crispy.
08 - Transfer fried eggrolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
09 - Let eggrolls cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with preferred dipping sauce.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Chop jalapeños finely for a smoother filling and easier assembly.
02 - Leaving some jalapeño seeds adds heat; remove all for milder flavor.
03 - For a tangier filling, substitute part of the cream cheese with sour cream.
04 - Freeze assembled but unfried eggrolls in a single layer for future frying.
05 - Maintain medium oil temperature for evenly golden, not burnt, wrappers.
