Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls

Ingredients:

8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

4 fresh jalapeños, seeds removed and finely chopped

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

12 eggroll wrappers

Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional: chopped green onions or chives for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:

In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped jalapeños, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese if using. Stir until well combined.

Assemble the Eggrolls:

Lay an eggroll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, so it looks like a diamond shape.

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Wet the top corner with a bit of water to seal the eggroll.

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Fry the Eggrolls:

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the eggrolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the eggrolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve:

Serve the eggrolls hot, garnished with chopped green onions or chives if desired. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce like ranch dressing or sour cream.
