Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 10 slices bacon fried & crumbled
- 0.5 cup diced jalapeños membrane & seeds removed
- 0.5 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 12 egg roll wrappers thawed according to package instructions
- 1 ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the jalapeños, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Use a fork to mash everything together until well combined.
- Fill a small ramekin or cup with water. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the filling to the bottom half of the wrapper.
- Moisten the bottom left and right edges with water. Roll the wrapper halfway, then wet the top edges and fold the corners toward the center. Continue rolling until tightly sealed.
- Place 4-6 egg rolls into the air fryer basket. Spray generously with oil. Air fry at 360°F for 7-10 minutes, flipping after 5-6 minutes and spraying again with oil. Fry until golden brown.
Notes
- For less spice, reduce jalapeños to 1/3 cup.
- Use gloves when chopping jalapeños to avoid irritation.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer or deep fryer to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute cheddar with mozzarella if preferred.
