Ingredients

  • 4 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  2. Place a small spoonful of the filling onto each egg roll wrapper.
  3. Moisten the edges with water, fold the sides in, and roll tightly to seal.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

Notes

  • Use pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
  • Omit bacon for a vegetarian version and add chopped green onions.
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes with a light oil brush for a healthier option.
  • Air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
