Ingredients
  

Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls Ingredients
  • 8 oz white cream cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1.5 cups orange cheddar cheese Freshly shredded from a block
  • 1 cup fresh green jalapenos Finely diced, seeds removed
  • 0.5 cups thick-cut bacon Cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 12 wrappers egg roll wrappers Kept under a damp towel to prevent drying
  • 4 cups neutral frying oil Peanut, canola, or vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp water Or one beaten egg, to seal wrappers
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 0.25 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven or Deep Cast Iron Skillet Essential for maintaining an even 350°F oil temperature.
  • 1 Deep Fry Thermometer Crucial for preventing greasy or burnt egg roll wrappers.

Method
 

Preparation and Frying
  1. In a large mixing bowl, fold together the softened white cream cheese, shredded orange cheddar cheese, diced green jalapenos, and bacon crumbles until the mixture is thick and evenly combined.
  2. Place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Add 2 tbsp of filling to the lower middle. Fold the bottom point up, then fold the sides in tightly. Moisten the top point with water and roll upwards to seal completely.
  3. Heat 4 cups of neutral oil in a Dutch oven to exactly 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches of 3-4 for 3 to 4 minutes until they develop a blistered, golden-brown crispy crust. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, dried dill, dried parsley, and garlic powder until thick and creamy white.
  5. Slice the cooled egg rolls in half on a bias to reveal the warm gooey center. Stack on a ceramic plate and serve immediately with the herbed dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened so the filling mixes easily without tearing the wrappers.
Always shred your orange cheddar from a block to ensure a smooth, gooey melt.
