Method
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, diced jalapeños, bacon bits, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel.
- Place about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling horizontally across the bottom third of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold the left and right corners in toward the center to create an envelope.
- Dip your finger in water and moisten the top corner of the wrapper. Roll the egg roll up tightly to seal it.
- In a heavy pot, heat 2-3 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches of 3 or 4 for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with tongs and place on a wire rack to drain. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving (filling will be extremely hot). Garnish with extra bacon bits and green onions.
Notes
To bake instead of fry: Brush prepared egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes.
