Mini Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls
Description
This recipe combines softened cream cheese with shredded cheddar, canned diced jalapeno peppers, garlic powder, and finely sliced green onions to produce a flavorful filling. The mixture is portioned onto wonton wrappers, which are moistened on the edges for sealing and then carefully folded into tightly enclosed egg rolls with the sides folded in.
The egg rolls are fried in vegetable oil heated to 350°F for approximately three minutes until they turn brown and crispy. It is important to let them cool for several minutes before serving as the filling remains hot after frying. The frying provides a crunchy golden wrapper that contrasts with the creamy, spicy interior.
For a less oily option, these poppers can be air fried at 390°F for 6 to 7 minutes after generously coating them in oil to ensure crispness.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 ounces jalapeno pepper 1 can, diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green onions finely sliced
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oil to 350°F.
- Combine the cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeño peppers, garlic powder and green onions.
- Place each wonton wrapper diagonally and add 1 tablespoon of filling. Brush a little bit of water on the edge of the wrapper and fold in half pinching to seal. Fold the sides in and roll the egg roll ensuring it is completely sealed.
- Drop each egg roll into the hot oil for about 3 minutes or until brown and crispy.
- Caution: the filling will be hot! Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to mix easily with the other filling ingredients for a smooth texture.
- Allow egg rolls to cool for about 5 minutes after frying to avoid burning from the hot filling.
- For a lower-fat alternative, coat egg rolls generously with oil and cook in an air fryer at 390°F for 6-7 minutes until crispy.
