Bacon Jalapeno Popper Eggrolls
These Bacon Jalapeno Popper Eggrolls wrap everything you love — creamy cheese, crispy bacon, and spicy jalapeños — inside a golden, crunchy shell. The ultimate party snack or game-day winner, they’re melty inside and crispy outside with every bite.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula or spoon for mixing filling
- Small bowl for sealing edges with water
- Tongs for handling eggrolls while frying
- deep skillet or pot for frying
- Paper towels for draining excess oil
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225 g)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (50 g)
- 4–5 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 12–14 eggroll wrappers
- vegetable or canola oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, chopped jalapeños, cooked bacon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Lay one eggroll wrapper flat with a corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush a little water on the final edge to seal. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry eggrolls in batches for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Each bite will be creamy, smoky, and just spicy enough to keep you reaching for more.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing. Finely chop jalapeños for even heat. Don’t overfill wrappers, and seal edges well to prevent bursting. For healthier options, bake or air-fry instead of deep-frying. These reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer.
