    My son, Aaron, loves spicy food. Jalapeño poppers are one of his favorite snacks. We've made them or incorporated the flavors of poppers in a few different recipes over the years. Have you tried our baked jalapeño poppers or jalapeño cheese bread? The bread is to die for, but Aaron's favorite way to enjoy poppers is in egg roll form. We chop the jalapeños instead of using pepper halves, but the taste is still spicy and delicious!

    You only need 4 ingredients to make your own jalapeño popper egg rolls.

    Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls

    • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
    • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
    • 18-20 egg roll wrappers*
    • oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

    * Egg roll wrappers can be found in the produce section of the grocery section next to the Tofu and jars of salad dressing.

    How To Make Egg Rolls

    Step 1: Mix cheeses and peppers together.

    Step 2: Scoop about a tablespoon of filling and roll it out into a small log shape. Place in center of egg roll wrapper.

    Step 3: Fold over on both sides to cover up filling. Dip your finger in water and run it along the other two sides that haven't been folded over. The water helps create a seal so that the egg roll doesn't open while frying.

    Step 4: Roll up the egg roll nice and tight.

    TIP: Watch our video for a better visual on how we wrap our egg rolls.

    Step 5: Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers.

    How To Fry Jalapeño Egg Rolls

    • Heat oil until it reaches 350 degrees. You only need about 2" of oil in your pan. How much that is depends on how deep your pan is.
    • Fry egg rolls 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip over half way through for even browning.
    • Drain on a rack with a cookie sheet and paper towels underneath to catch any excess oil.

    Can you air fry egg rolls?

    Yes, but they really are better deep fried. If you'd like to cook these bad boys in an air fryer here's how to do it, but you aren't allowed to come back and say they weren't ridiculously crispy with a bubbly wrapper because those perks come from frying in oil.

    Spray basket with non stick cooking spray and air fry at 350 degrees for 6-7 minutes. Turn once and cook (fry) for an additional 4-5 minutes or until crispy and brown.

    This recipe makes 18-20 egg rolls. Dip in your favorite sauce. We like ranch!

    How To Freeze and Reheat Egg Rolls

    Freeze cooked egg rolls in freezer bags.

    Oven: Reheat in oven at 375 degrees until you hear them start to sizzle (8-10 minutes).
